New Surfboard

Fellow surfers (I'm a really bad surfer), a Bay Area surfer/designer has reinvented the longboard. From today's Chronicle:

The first thing you notice is the shape. It looks like a tadpole. Maybe a duckbill. Yet there's something feminine about its curvy waist and tapered end.The Swedish designer responsible for Apple's first translucent laptop has gone outside the box again to deliver what he calls his best - and most personal - product to date: a makeover of the classic long board.

It does not look like a surfboard, which explains the dubious looks Thomas Meyerhoffer gets when he totes his around.

Read the whole thing. I want to give this a surf.
