Wireless Surfing

We think that the people over at Intel may have been getting a little too much sun lately. They’ve come up with a Wireless Technology Surfboard for all those workaholic surfers out there… err. Anyway, the board’s been designed especially for the 2004 Intel GoldCoast Oceanfest in Devon .

An Intel Centrino-powered tablet PC has been sealed inside the board along with a solar panel to provide it with juice while out in the Blue Juice.

Intel has put a hotspot up at Croyde beach in North Devon so that the festival-goers can do some electronic surfing when they’ve finished with the real thing. According to Intel, the board really does work – both as a computer and a surfboard.

If it were April 1st we’d think that someone was pulling our leg.
