"Surfboard" is an instrumental song by Antônio Carlos Jobim. The song was composed on Ipanema after buying a surfboard for his son, but was not released until his US album The Wonderful World of Antonio Carlos Jobim in 1965.[1][2] The song was rerecorded by Jobim for the album Antonio Brasileiro.
The tune was taken up by many artists on albums, but did not appear as a single until it was covered by Brazilian keyboardist Walter Wanderley from the album When It Was Done in 1969. The song was covered again by Stereolab and Herbie Mann in 1996. The song has no lyrics but was recorded in an entirely lyricless scat singing version by The Swingle Singers on Mood Swings 2003.
