Surfboard concept for Charles Bombardier at www.charlesbombardier.com
Design Brief:
1. Sensors to detect the presence of sharks
2. Compact sonars on the side and an electronic nose in the front
when it detects a shark it will sound an alarm and glow a different color (luminescent band around perimeter)
3.liquid-ejectors (If shark comes close it will eject some liquid in the water to disorient shark like a mix of vinegar or peppered spray
4. It will also contact emergency services immediately
5. The vehicle will have a pressured canister to eject the spray it could be flushed fit in the board , maybe it could be small and you could show two of them on each side
6. In surf board there could also be hidden floating pole that you could hit/stab shark with
7. You could add some DEL lights under to blind the shark with powerful strobe lights
8.I would try to use a really light weight material made of carbon nanotube matrix so it could match the weight and balance of existing boards
