    Default Father of Supra - The History of Supra Boats

    Drew posted on social media today. Some are not on there.

    “The Founder of Supra Boats... We have George Fowler to thank for the conception of the boats we ride today. Thanks George for visiting us at the factory.”

    Thanks for the pics, @MJHKnox! This thread has sort of gone full circle and is interesting to see it played out. I wonder what George thinks of these modern Supras. Someone needs to do another in depth interview.

    Funny you say that, I was thinking the same thing.

    Post was from 2010, not sure when that interview happened.

    1981 - 2021 Supra's 40th Anniversary.

    Cool pics! He's at the factory....so be nice if Drew and/ or Rick did a drive in parking lot reunion and we could all ask Mr. Fowler what he thinks of the new boats. I emailed the Supra management in regards to a 40 year reunion last year to no avail. I don't get a sense they care for the oldies.

    Not the same Supra boats, theory of boating, design or technology. 5 letters of the alphabet is all that remains the same of the company he started.
    I'm sure he's happy the name lives on but I bet money he'd be happier to see boats he designed and built by hand in the 80's being still being loved and adored by fans of the wave logo. I know I am.

    I think you're probably right.
