Surfboards, whose usual habitat is the ocean, have taken to the land in a new sport devised by Portland, Oregon, youngsters in 1932. The surfboards, made of ordinary planks, are pulled along over the ground at a neat clip by motorcycles, as shown below, and the participants enjoy the sport despite the ever-imminent possibility of a fractured neck, leg or arm. A clean stretch of turf makes ideal course.
