The black beauty you may be seeing around surfing forums is a concept two-piece travel surfboard made of carbon fiber. Think Aviso surfboard, but split in two. This surfboard looks like it'll eat longboards and kooks for breakfast before dawn patrol. And while you might be hunting around for such a board, you're not going to find it in production – the whole thing was a concept board created by Australian Nicolas Notara. Concept or not, that puppy looks like a bitchin' ride, and you'll easily be the baddest mofo on the beach with a carbon fiber board that you can fold up into a suitcase. That said, the price of carbon fiber is way up there and this won't likely be an affordable option for most surfers. Says Thane Pope of Pope Bisects, a travel surfboard pioneer: “There's a big big difference between concept and production.”
