What kind of new / innovative / dumb surf product ideas to you guys have? Here are a few I have been thinking of: Wetsuit pee valve - some sort of valve, probably on the side of your suit so it doesn't get in your way, that could be opened to let water in/out while peeing. Key in booty/glove weather. Arm-strap beer carrier - basically a neoprene beer can sleeve with a velcro strap that would let you paddle out with a brew, and could be worn empty without being much of a bother. Great for hot, small, summer days. Get one for each arm! GPS tide watch - the ultimate surf watch. Can tell you length of ride (distance and time, both per wave and total for session), top speed achieved, plus tides and usual watch features.
Re: patents, I am certainly not in the manufacturing business, so feel free to steal these ideas and I will gladly buy the end product. zaGaffer, I could make a stoner version of the arm-beer-strap thing that incorporates a small waterproof case. Party in an armband.
Could it be fitted with a solar powered keurig for early DP caffeination? It could also be equipped for dispensing of other beverages, eliminating the need for the previously mentioned arm strap carriers..
I have a great one... how about a traction like surface or pad that would go at the tail of the board.... not sure if on the deck or the bottom would work better. lol. oh also... maybe like a torpedo mount so I wouldnt have to launch myself at 6month old infants that kook out and drop in...
I'm envisioning a small radio controlled surfer that you could play with on the flat days. Someone should definitely make that.
Some sort of arm-based wing or fin-type glove that would make up for any lack in motivation to improve natural paddling strength and efficacy.
