These images of Nicholas Notara's collapsable surfboard have been on several design sites around the world this year. However all of them tend to read like a Demtel advertisement for Tupperware,  "can't fit surfing into your life, well now you can" and so on. Looking at these images and the over all concept I'm more inclined to think of some harrowing sequence of events where the door of a jet is ripped off and the ever debonair James Bond falls out in a perfectly tailored tux and a suitcase.

From this suitcase comes a 40-part surfboard which he manages to assemble, in mid-air before firing his parachute and falling into a massive pacific swell off the coast of some deranged psychopath's volcanic island lair.

Sure it's far fetched but then again so is the idea that you're gonna get any surfer with enough patience to assemble this magazine of compartments into a surfboard for their daily ritual. This absolute yuppie pontoon would score you negative 1000 out on the break, unless, of course, you were wearing a tuxedo and sipping a martini.
