"A Guinness World Record attempt is planned for approximately 11:00am tomorrow with more than two-dozen of the world's best surfers endeavoring to ride a wave simultaneously while standing on a single 40-foot long surfboard. The construction of the monstrous craft, a super-sized replica of WCT surfer Dan Wills' (Byron Bay, Aus) normal 5ཇ" surfboard - has already set a world record for the biggest-ever surfboard.

More than 300 litres of resin, 1/2 ton of foam and 220 metres of fibre glass were required to build the board which cost AUD$50,000 and took Australian shaping identity Nev Hyman one month to complete. 30 people will be needed to carry it down the beach!"

alot of waste if you ask me. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />

Actually, Moonie, Nev is done it before, he made a 25' <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/applause.gif" alt="" />board and a bunch of surfers friends of his rode it down under, Australians have a funny sense of humor and I think they'll have a blast taking that thing out and riding it.....GO NEV!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/applause.gif" alt="" />

To fix a ding on that uber board, you'd use enough resin to glass a shortboard.
