Light Wave Surfboard by Evan Orensten
Surfers who like to be on the waves before dawn or after dusk now have a solution to improve safety and visibility. The Light Wave surfboard by Santa Cruz Light Wells has battery operated lights—a white light on the right or left side of the board (depending on which way you ride) provides visibility to other surfers. A headlight is activated when the nose of the board goes up to help you see the waves, and a light in the tail helps illuminate your wake so other surfers can see you (and your talent). Multicolor lights in the fins help you, well, pimp your ride.
The Light Wave Surfboard is available for $2,950 from Santa Cruz Light Wells

Pet Airways
Anyone who's experienced the stress of air travel with their pet has thought there's got to be a better way.

From drop off to pick up every aspect of the pet's comfort has been thought through, with pre-...

Kinny Stereo Acoustic Guitars
Add new dimensions to guitar recording with Paul Kinny's Stereo Acoustic guitars, which use two sound holes to create a richer, more dynamic sound. The mammoth design, both intriguing and off-putting, is reminiscent of harp-guitars employed by innovative musicians Andy McKee and Michael Hedges. The two holes, oddly positioned towards the musician in lieu of his audience, separate the resonant bass tones from the...
