Surf While Surfing

It’s a surfboard. With a built-in laptop. No, you’re not hallucinating, it’s really happened. And it’s called the Intel Wireless Technology Surfboard and as PR stunts go, it must rank among the oddest, surely. Built by North Devon board shaper Jools Matthews and demonstrated by pro surfer Duncan Scott, the board was commissioned by Intel to showcase at the North Devon Intel GoldCoast Oceanfest. Duncan can surf the net while travelling out to the swell via a wireless hotspot on the beach, although we reckon typing in a web address might be slightly more problematic. A bonkers idea certainly, but there’s no denying it’s one that holds a certain novelty value.
