Look at this....



COULD this be the greatest sporting innovation since the winged keel? Kelly Slater, the greatest surfer ever, is preparing possibly his greatest gift to the sport - The Chunnel. The thruster surfboard is considered the biggest innovation in surfing and, 30 years on, Slater is attempting to revolutionise the sport with the four-finned Chunnel. The concept is based on a U-class powerboat, with a hollowed-out channel/tunnel down the middle of the board that is designed to draw air out of the water, therefore compressing the water over the hole to make the ride smoother and faster.
