For about $640, you can own an inflatable surfboard made of PVC-coated fabric. Just think of all the baggage fees you’ll be avoiding at the airport. Depending on how much you surf travel, in 4-6 years it might pay for itself. The downside: it’s an inflatable raft with fins and I seriously doubt it will turn on a dime like your high performance thruster. Needless to say, someone will find this useful. More on the Surf Air at: www.theinertia.com. For all you French speaking surfers out there, you can visit the inventor’s site HERE.
