That's not a surf board...that's a boat with no sides.
I bet there are a few Cubans who would like that sorta luxury transport! ;-)
Where is the motor and the steering?
Look at this .....
Nice...and I thought I rode a longboard...
Yeah!! Bet they didn't jump a shark!! :-)
Cowabunga!
HANG 400!
LOL! Gotcha in the keywords.
