I came across this great page about Mike Murphy. He was doing Wakeboarding before Wakeboards were invented (flips and 360s on a slolom ski. Co-founded many inventions such as Wakeboards, Kneeboards, Kneeboard Hydrofoil, Air Chair, etc. Held skiing speed record at 118.92mph, distance speed records, Jump records, etc. 132 ft ski jump. 19' height jump on a hydrofoil. Amazing stuff:
