Happy Birthday, Tom! You're the only guy who could look at a wave and think, "You know what this needs? A foam board that's easier to ride—and harder to fall off!" Thanks for inventing the Boogie Board; you've single-handedly saved countless beachgoers from embarrassing wipeouts. Surfers everywhere owe you big time—mostly in sunscreen.From engineering genius to musical maestro, your creativity knows no bounds. Whether you're innovating surfboard designs or jamming out tunes, you always make waves (pun intended). Here's hoping your birthday is as epic as catching that perfect swell—but without any sand stuck anywhere awkward!
