Who Knows? Available at IKEA?
Surf - Technology

Thomas Meyerhoffer is said to have recreated the surf board. From the times of ancient South American tribes, to those observed by late Eurpoeans in Hawaii, all the way to now calling your local shaper, innovation has always been apart of a board making craft. Here we see a designer that once used his skills and talent for Apple computers. He now directes his ability towards his passion, not a bad idea huh?

Meyerhoffer is passionate as he is briliant. He's thinking outside of what everyone already knows. Einstein said "we cannot solve problems at the same levels of consciousness that created them." I like this guy and his innovation. Who knows, they might start selling this at IKEA. After all, Meyerhoffer is Swedish.

 

This is a schematic of the board. I know Surf World carries one or two of these.
