Solo just sent me this photo collage and some info about an interesting Union Carbide surf craft...
Anybody ever see another one? |

That's interesting, and with that Union Carbide name I bet it's pretty green too!
But seriously, either of you guys know how old a product that is? Current? I've never seen anything like it. |

It would be interesting to test ride it upside down and backwards. |

I had one of those (exactly the same) as a kid that was used as a pool toy. That would've been about..... 40 years ago. I'm amazed the one presented is still in such good shape. After being left out in the sun for ages, mine cracked up and leaked. I'm sure it's buried deep in a Los Angeles landfill. |
