Yep, 90% materials, and so are other things like windsurfing, paragliding, etc. Very little of the "modern stuff the ancients didn't figure out" could be done

Very little of the "modern stuff the ancients didn't figure out" could be done without modern materials.
If dumped back in time, maybe you could make rent teaching swimming or doing accounting. Medicine would probably be too dangerous.
- blululu 4y agoYeah. Surfing is a great example of a Stone Age sport that has been radically changed by Space Age technology. Koa wood gets you a longboard that is hard to steer and can only surf long smooth waves. The modern surfboard is very much born out of California's aviation industry and its fixation on light, strong materials and aerodynamics. Surfing Pipeline is only possible with modern plastics, fins and shaping.
