I came across this article and could not resist sharing. This is a collapsible carbon fiber surfboard designed by Nicholas Notara. The frame is made of carbon fiber making it incredibly light I am assuming. The carbon fiber design, to me, is not even the best part. The kicker, is that you can break it down by engaging a quick release lever and then flipping two pins on top. This will break the board down in half after you remove what looks like a center strut pole from the middle. The bar appears to insert into both halves providing a solid backbone for the board.
The board also has 5 fin slots, allowing for a wide variety of fin configurations to fit your riding style. I do not have the dimensions of this board and would love to see a version of this for a longboard. This to me would be a great idea to help with transporting a 9'0'' board.
I would not want to be on the receiving end of a direct nose hit from this board judging from the image below.
Based off of this image it looks as though some assembly may be required...
I would love to know how much a board like this would cost. The price is a moot point at this time anyway, this board is just a concept design at the moment. I can't wait until someone is able to mass produce this design.
