Collapsible Surfboard Concept Brings Mecano Fun to Water Sports [Concepts]
By Haroon Malik | February 13, 2008
So, you like surfing, but your apartment and car are not big enough for a full sized board. What's the solution, I hear you ask? Sure, you could take up a new sport, or you could get yourself a Collapsible Surfboard. Designed by Nicholas Notara, who wanted to achieve portability without compromising functionality, the frame is made of carbon-fiber, and the whole board is taken apart in three easy moves:
Simply remove the two pins and pull the central lever. Users can also adapt the board according to their needs, all thanks to the set of hot-swappable fins. It is a shame then that this is just a concept, but due to the likely losing of itty-bitty board parts, perhaps that's for the best. Hit the link for two swanky closeup shots. [Yanko Design]
