"Did you know that Donald Dettloff, from the USA, owns 647 different surfboards?," the Surfer Today says.

"Well, he holds the record for the "Largest Collection of Surfboards." These planks are stored on his property in Haiku, Maui, Hawaii.

"The modest surfboard collection is the result of 15 years of investments. Dettloff used the boards to create a fence. Crazy."

"There are around 650 surfboards in the world's largest surfboard collection. The joy for some surfers is mainly about catching waves. But the surfboards are equally as fascinating for Donald Dettloff of Maui. According to Guinness global Records, Dettloff set the global record for the greatest collection of surfboards in 2009," the FACTgenics says.

"What's better? You are welcome to pay them a visit. Dettloff wires each of his 647 boards to his home's fence (seen above), a practise he began in 1990 to keep them from blowing away in a cyclone. Subscribe to Factgenics on YouTube for more intriguing facts like these."
