The team at France’s Peugeot Design Lab has re-imagined the surfboard, according to a post on NewLaunches.com.
The concept surfboard uses the ‘coupe tranche’ (clean cut) design theme and is sleek, suave and eye-catching. This one reminded us of an extremely sharp and shiny blade and the front of the surfboard is designed to represent emotions. The back of the surfboard highlights motion and sports integrated sculpted tail fins that have been meticulously drawn out to make the board more agile and responsive. Using carbon fiber for its body while the front is made from wood, this concept surfboard, according to our imagination, also seems inspired by stealth fighter aircrafts.
What doesn’t surprise us are the lack of action photos of the board. Click the link for more images and the rest of the story.
