“A team of engineers from Oceanit Laboratories in Hawaii are making big waves in the nanotech community with a nanotech-empowered surfboard. It’s a full-sized eight-foot-long board - or ‘gun’ as the real surfers call it - designed to ride the giant, storm-generated swells that pound Hawaii’s north shore every winter.”

“The Oceanit nanotech board is traditionally-made, with a foam core and fiberglass cloth, but it is coated with resin teeming with titanium nanoparticles that the company says make the board three times less likely to fracture and 100 percent more ding-proof - without impacting flexibility or weight.”
