Abstract
Toy surfboards and methods of snapping together a figurine with a surfboard and a skeg and a wing to form a surfboard toy. The assembled toy can ride incoming waves back to a shore. The hydrofoil can have a V or boomerang shape with side wings having ends extending rearward and out from the surfboard. Wing ends can incorporate curved discs for stability. Optional stabilizing tail/fin/rudder can extend rearward from the hydrofoil. Games can include racing toys by tossing them simultaneously from the shore to see which one reaches the shore first.

A surfboard toy, comprising:
- an elongated surfboard with front and rear ends, and top and bottom surfaces;
- a figurine being attachable and detachable to the top surface adjacent to the rear end of the surfboard, the figurine having a figurine weight;
- a skeg having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end is attachable and detachable to the bottom surface of the surfboard underneath the figurine;
- and
- a main wing with a left rearward extending vane and a right rearward extending vane, wherein a mid portion of the main wing is attachable and detachable to the lower end of the skeg, the main wing having a weight heavier than the weight of the figurine so as to cause the surfboard toy to move to a standup position in water.

- providing a figurine with a pair of downward protruding connector members;
- providing a skeg with upward protruding connector members;
- providing a wing;
- mounting the figurine to a top of the surfboard and the skeg to the bottom of the surfboard by passing the downward connector members and the upward connector members into the through-holes until the downward connector members and the upward connector members lock with one another;
