I beg to differ with the statement in tips, "the Surfboard is only really useful during the early game". An armored boat may be a better way of getting around the map, but it has to be left where you came ashore; the Surfboard provides a fast means of escape, or a means of gathering supplies, while the boat is on the opposite side of the island. It also acts as a life raft should you be lost at sea and your boat gets too beat up to make landfall. All this makes it pretty useful still and well worth the inventory slot for carrying it around. Perhaps 'most useful in early game' would be more accurate.
