Skateboard

According to urban legend, skateboarding was invented by Californian surfers who, back when the ocean was flat, were looking for a way to reproduce the same sensations as surfing.  They came up with the idea of riding on asphalt, using small wooden boards to which they attached roller-skate wheels!

As proof of its worldwide recognition, surfing is an additional sport at the 2020 Olympic Games and will be on the list of official sports at the 2028 Games in Los Angeles!
