(From Corky Carroll's Blog-read the original article here )

Three-time international surf champ Corky Carroll answers your questions each week on the Beach Blog. To ask Corky a question, hit him up at corkysurf@aol.com.

Here’s what he wrote this week:

Q. Have you heard anything about a solar-heated surfboard?
A. As a matter of fact, yes I have. Although it is not really a heated surfboard. It has some sort of built in solar panel and you can actually plug in things like your cell phone charger, I-pod player, electric shaver, etc. etc. etc. I think the idea is to use that function of the surfboard on land though. I am not sure about how safe it would be to plug in the hair dryer when you are sitting in the lineup waiting for a wave. For info on this, you can go talk to Tony at Coral Reef Wetsuits. He is on Beach Blvd. between the 405 and the 22 freeways in Westminster. It’s his deal.

WORLD'S FIRST SOLAR SURFBOARD

(Never leave surfboard in the sun - delaminating may occur)

Charges fully in the shade!

The Solar Surfboard is not for everyone, it's for the local camper or
hard core world traveler that surfs remote locations around the world
where there is no electrical infrastructure available.
No need for costly toxic batteries that end up in our lakes,
rivers, oceans or landfills, and has a high resale value.

3-watt panel adds only 2 ounces to board

5-watt panel adds only 5 ounces

7-watt panel adds only 7 ounces.

Hot coating a shortboard adds 6-7 ounces, on a 9 foot board adds 12
ounces, as you can see the added weight does not interfere with the
construction of the completed surfboard at all.

My first solar surfboard was a 9'6" longboard with a 8-watt panel.  I couldn't feel
any difference in performance or weight of board, it became my magic
board & all time favorite. And a sustainable green energy source.
"Go Green!"  Save the planet and American jobs, one wave at a time.
