Popular Science reports on the Shredder, a surfboard made by a 3D designer out of the last material you'd expect to find off-shore, Cardboard:

"When it came time to replace his old surfboard, Mike Sheldrake decided to build his own. But the former Web programmer didn’t have the sculpting skills to carve one out of foam the way professional builders do. So he used 3-D modeling software to design a snap-together deck that’s as sturdy as a conventional model and performs just as well, made from the cheapest material he could find: cardboard."

Watch a video of the Shredder being assembled. Warning: has weird soundtrack that sounds like the tail end of a French absinthe party. Picture & Video thanks to Neublack.com
