Color Changing Surfboards

Found in Surf Wax, Surfboard Care, Surfing — Tags: Surfboard, Weird — Texas Surfer

Checkout this surfboard that actually changes color with heat.

The board’s fiberglass has a pigment that’s sensitive to heat. As the board gets hotter, the fiberglass turns white, which deflects the sun’s rays. This keeps your board from getting too incredibly hot. Then, when you paddle out into the water and the board cools down, it returns to its normal, darker color.

Cats usually hate water but this cat in Peru surfs. I wondered at first if it surfed on its own will or not, but if it didn’t want to surf I think it would have clawed up its owner.

The Japanese invented a surf pool. I’m not surprised, I just want one. What I am surprised about is that these Japanese guys sound sooo Australian.

The Quicksilver dynamite surfing video is below, in case you don’t know what this is about. Basically these guys (supposedly) threw some dynamite into a public body of water, and it caused a wave decent enough to surf on – which they did surf on.

MythBusters, the show on Discovery Channel, takes a close look into what’s really possibly as far as dynamite surfing. Here’s their video:
