You aren’t the room Yuke You are just a wonky cafe table with a missing rubber pad on the end of one leg.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Well if the mythbusters guys can build a paper boat that floats them both for a few hours cardboard surfboards can be made.

They look nice and lightweight but my concern would be durability eg. How would the fin stay on? How would they handle a collision with rocks and a subsequent repair? Etc

... lot of work gone into his designs and supply. Check out this one for example:

If it works, sure. Much better solution environmentally to what we are currently riding.

Great links!

I'm intrigued by this sentence from the German lot: "... With this tool, which we created in a "spare time project" , you can load in and process almost any surfboard shape you want..."

I sent them an enquiry, the mind boggles with possibilities... :B
