Board with Laptop Shaped Into Blank?!? PHOTO

Tell me: what is this world coming to? I found this article on the BBC’s website. Now, I can relate to merging technology with shaping dynamics, but I’m envisioning the potential for a concept like this getting completely out of hand. Will we see, in the next couple of years, a lineup of stockbrokers trading on-line before tucking into a peeling overhead wall? Or a guy instant messaging a buddy about how good it is at Lowers? I can appreciate the concept of using the camera technology for, say, documenting the performance of a recent shaping template, but really?

Hey, I guess it would mean us Swayaholics could actually be surfing while posting. A novel concept.

Comments?

What’s next???

Power Steering: kind of.

Wax Compartment: available.

CD Player: seen it.

Cup Holders: done.

Chair: passe.

Fishpole Holder: need you ask?

and now,

Solar Laptop: Of course!

For some reason, I don’t feel compelled to go out and order a board with all the options just yet…

Damn… missed that set wave. Should’ve been paying more attention.

for the computer nerd who has everything except a surfboard…

target marketing at its finest…

the guy’s name in the photo is BUOY

Maybe it would be fun if the lulls between sets were long. Wonder about the weight tho…

If this idea turns out to be a reality and any significant number of boards with this feature appear in the line up, I’m issuing a call to all Swaylockians:

Break out the 10’ Volan glassed Logs and start taking off early. When someone takes off in front of you on a “PC Chip” do not back off. Aim right for the Computer and show no mercy. It’s the only way to save our souls…

for all you guys know, I’m tapping out this reply from my new Solar Laptop Surfboar…

…whoops! gotta go, the computer is telling me I’m going to get barreled in 12 seconds…

…must,

Turn…

and

Paddle…

Howzit Plusone, don’t forget a cigarette lighte and maybe an air bag. Aloha, Kokua

for all we know, this reply was sent BY his surfboard, after it intentionally pearled and sent him head first onto the reef.

Careful, or you WILL be assimilated…

The Question one has to ask is ‘why?’

another twat out to make a quick buck out of the gullible

I vote for the most hoorendous wipeout ever… ‘Broke yer board did I? Shame.’

Sad, sad, sad

crying

It was only the other week I was joking to a mate about this and nows some nerd from 'pomgolia is selling out surfing.

what is happening to this world? josh.
