‘surfair’ inflatable surfboard by thomas de lussac

french designer thomas de lussac has revolutionized the world of amateur surfing with his inflatable surfboard. accessible, convenient, innovative and useful, the ‘surf air’ board is ideal for amateur surfers aspiring to become the future kings of the big waves. the three-dimensional fabric used to construct each board is double-coated with PVC, providing a remarkable rigidity. the ‘surf air’ inflates in 2 minutes and becomes as solid and stable as a conventional surfboard. once rolled back together, it is easily transportable and can easily fit inside a small gym bag.

‘surf air‘ comes with a pump, a backpack, a repair kit and a ‘surfair’ t-shirt. dimensions: circa 210 x 55 x 7 cm / weight: 4,8kg
