I like boards. I have many. But would I buy a $75,000 nickel plated board? Australia’s best design export, Marc Newson has created a metal tow board with legend shaper Dick Brewer - and it’s all apart of his new show at the Gagosian Gallery, New York. But the big question - how does she ride? Well just ask world renowned tow maniac Garrett McNarama after a sess at Chopes. Check out the footage (some hot inside tube sequences). Did I mention Marc’s an Aquabumps subscriber in London.(ok now I’m showing off)

You can just bracket it using the square brackets just like you see it done in the post above

the first one is just “url” between square brackets, the second one has a slash / before “url”

Cheers bros

I built a lot of models when I was a kid. After I started making surfboards I always wondered if a plastic surfboard could be chrome plated like the plastic model parts were. Being here in Hawaii where there were few platers… I never pursued it… but it looks like I should have!

I don’t know if they used a similar process to what I was thinking could be used but that board sure looks awesome! I gotta get Garrett to show it to me.
