Toy surfboard toys and methods of a figurine mounted on a surfboard with hydrofoil allowing the surfboard to ride incoming waves back to a shore. The hydrofoil can have a V or boomerang shape with side wings having ends extending rearward and out from the surfboard. Wing ends can be curved discs for stability. Optional stabilizing tail/fin/rudder can extend rearward from the hydrofoil. Games can include racing toys by tossing them simultaneously from the shore to see which one reaches the shore first.

A surfboard toy, comprising: an elongated surfboard with front and rear ends, and top and bottom surfaces and left side edges and right side edges;a figurine mounted to the top surface adjacent to the rear end of the surfboard, the figurine having a figurine weight; anda hydrofoil mounted attached to the bottom surface of the surfboard by a vertical strut member, the hydrofoil having a left leg member with a front portion and a free end, and a right leg member with a front portion and a free end, the front portion of the left leg member attached to the front portion of the right leg member to form a generally V shape or boomerang shape with an apex portion attached to a bottom end of the strut member, the free end of the left leg member extending rearwardly to the left from the front end of the surfboard, the free end of the right leg member extending rearwardly to the right from the front end of the surfboard, the free end of the left leg member having additional weight located away from and outside of the left side edges of the surfboard, the free end of the right leg member having additional weight located away from and outside of the right side edges of the surfboard, the hydrofoil having an overall hydrofoil weight, wherein the hydrofoil weight is greater than the figurine weight, wherein a majority of weight of the left leg member and a majority of weight of the right leg member are located away from and outside the left side edges and the right side edges of the surfboard. 2. The surfboard toy of claim 1, wherein the left leg member includes a left planar wing extending rearwardly to the left from the front end of the surfboard attached to a bottom end of the strut member, and the right leg member includes a right planar wing extending rearwardly to the right from the bottom end of the strut member. 3. The surfboard toy of claim 2, wherein the left planar wing and the right planar wing have a planar sheet configuration are in a horizontal plane so that the bottom surface of the surfboard is generally tilted upward. 4. The surfboard toy of claim 1, wherein the free ends of both the left leg member and the right leg member includes a curve portion being wider than a width of the free ends of both the left leg member and the right leg member. 5. The surfboard toy of claim 4, wherein the curve portion includes a cylindrical disc shape. 6. The surfboard toy of claim 1, wherein the hydrofoil includes: a tail member extending rearwardly from the apex portion of the hydrofoil approximately midway between the left leg member and the right leg member. 7. The surfboard toy of claim 6, wherein the left leg member includes a left planar wing extending rearwardly to the left from the front end of the surfboard attached to a bottom end of the strut member, and the right leg member includes a right planar wing extending rearwardly to the right from the bottom end of the strut member, and the tail member includes a planar horizontal fin. 8. The surfboard toy of claim 7, wherein the left planar wing and the right planar wing and the tail planar fin are in a horizontal plane, and the bottom surface of the surfboard is slightly tilted upward relative to horizontal plane of the hydrofoil. 9. The surfboard toy of claim 8, wherein the free ends of both the left leg member and the right leg member includes a curve portion being wider than a width of the free ends of both the left leg member and the right leg member. 10. The surfboard toy of claim 9, wherein the curve portion includes a cylindrical disc shape. 11. The surfboard toy of claim 1, wherein the surfboard is formed from foam material. 12. The surfboard of claim 11, wherein the hydrofoil is formed from injection molded plastic with a metal insert therein and the figurine is formed from injection molded plastic. 13. A method of playing a game with a surfboard toy, comprising the steps of: providing an elongated surfboard with front and rear ends, and top and bottom surfaces, and left side edges and right side edges;mounting a figurine to the top surface adjacent to the rear end of the surfboard, the figurine having a figurine weight;mounting a V or boomerang shaped hydrofoil to the bottom surface of the surfboard by a strut member extending downward from the bottom surface of the surfboard, the hydrofoil having a plane generally parallel to the bottom surface of the surfboard, the hydrofoil having a left leg with a front portion and a free end, and a right leg with a front portion and a free end, the front portion of the left leg being attached to the front portion of the right leg, with the free end of the left leg extending rearwardly from the front end of the surfboard, and the free end of the right leg extending rearwardly from the front end of the surfboard, the free end of the left leg member having additional weight located away from and outside of the left side edges of the surfboard, the free end of the right leg member having additional weight located away from and outside of the right side edges of the surfboard, the hydrofoil having an overall hydrofoil weight greater than the figurine weight, wherein a majority of weight of the left leg member and a majority of weight of the right leg member are located away from and outside the left side edges and the right side edges of the surfboard;tossing the surfboard toy from a shoreline toward incoming waves;causing the surfboard to turn upright with the figurine standing upward; andturning the surfboard to head back to the shoreline by the surfboard riding an incoming wave with the front end of the surfboard pointed in the direction of the shoreline. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the step of providing the V or boomerang shaped hydrofoil includes the step of: providing the hydrofoil with a left leg member and a right leg member attached to one another to form the V or boomerang shaped hydrofoil with an apex portion attached to a bottom end of the strut member, the left leg member extending rearwardly to the left out from the front end of the surfboard, and the right leg member extending rearwardly to the right out from the front end of the surfboard. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the step of providing the V or boomerang shaped hydrofoil includes the step of: providing a tail member extending rearwardly from the apex portion approximately midway the left and the right leg members. 16.
