Re: Origin of skiing

"I just know what was posted in Paleoanthro couple of days ago, want me

to copy that here? I didn't mean to imply that the planks were used
for footwear, just that they had planks. Actually I was thinking the
wooden objects were associated with net making and using, which is
where the surfboard makes sense for warm freshwater lake fishing in
non-shallow areas, precursor to the fancier later dugouts, canoes and
kayaks. Oldest "fishing boat" 8ka South Korea. DD"

Ah, if it was just a couple of days ago, I should be able to find
the message. I was hunting way back with search.
Yes one would expect the planks were used with boats, since it is
near the Sea of Galilee ot, as you say, as surfboards.
Seem to remember the fishermen off Peru (or somewhere) use boats which
they simply straddle with their feet in the water.
