Bob McTavish (born 1944 Mackay, Queensland) is an Australian surfboard designer who invented the V-bottom surfboard and is considered instrumental in the development of shortboard surfing.[1] Without his contributions to the world of surfing, the revolutionary nature of shortboard surfing wouldn't have been as effective. The combined efforts of Bob McTavish and George Greenough, the shortboard was created within 1966. [2]
