~Ok kids, History 101. "Cowabunga", which was adopted into the surfer lingo of the sixties was actually born on the "Howdy Doody Show" which was the first children's show to be aired on televison. It ran from 1947 to 1960. "Cowabunga" was first spoken by "Chief Thunderthud", one of the puppet characters, though the man responsible for creating the word was the head writer, Eddie Kean.
Don't ask me how I know this...heh.....
