Brazilian PE teacher Niel Terme inspired me for a weekend project.

You could put a 5 gal. sparklets bottle on the nose, and see if it downwinds better that way.

Is that packing tape holding it together?

Pretty cool, though I hope that's not the future of "green". I especially like the shower mat "pad". Now you need to take it into some surf. J.O.B would ride that at Pipe.

The look of the board makes you forget to look at the paddle.  Check it out.  It looks like technique won't affect the performance.

Hopefully you fill those bottles with CO2, every little bit helps.  ;)
