This page has changed. Yes work has been done and Ideas have been altered. Now my basic plan was to just to make a better surf board but now I know exactly what I want to make better. I am not impressed with the current design so now it's going to change along with the materials. Since my findings may be revolutionary and end up making me serious cash I can't exactly put what I'm going to do on the net. But I will show the world the outline for my project.
