About Turbo Surf Designs
Turbo Surf Designs was founded in Hawaii in 1983 by the legendary Russ Brown ("Captain Turbo"). Turbo rocked the bodyboarding industry by providing a viable alternative to the colossal Morey Boogie dominance -- a stiff board with a vinyl deck that could be custom tailored to suit your riding preferences. Prior to this innovation, the bodyboard was a soft, sometimes over-flexible piece of foam. Turbo revolutionized the sport of bodyboarding and has set its own course since. Turbo progressed to the top of the bodyboarding food chain in the 1980's and 1990's as they continued to push the boundaries of the sport of bodyboarding.
