This is why the USN quit recruiting surfers after October 12, 1942. Afterwards, Dinsdale blamed the skeg on the "surfbord" for being too small and not allowing him to cut right off the wave before he reached shore. Ensign Dinsdale was the first and last submarine surfer. After the war he professed to have served as a consultant for Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys, claiming partial credit for "Surfin' Safari," only his working title was "Surfin' Tsunami." If true, thank God saner heads prevailed.
