We just took a look at a solar backpack from Ralph Lauren that is stylish, waterproof and $800. A price like that tends to get one thinking about how much portable solar charging gear can be had in the $800-$1K neighborhood. Well, we’ve stumbled on another hip, waterproof, portable solar power station and it starts at $800. The difference here: performance. Check out this solar surfboard by Tony Jones of Coral Reef Wetsuits. Jones’ invention takes a solar panel and plants it right in the middle of one of his custom boards.
Solar Surfboard Lets You Catch Waves, Power | EarthTechling
Backcountry skiers have backpacks they can inflate in event of an avalanche, deploying a large balloon designed to keep them on the surface of the snow. Equestrians and motorcyclists have inflatable body armor that can deploy automatically in event of a crash to protect head, neck, and spine. And now, thanks to a nasty wipeout that led to a collaboration between big wave surfer Shane Dorian, Billabong, and a Canadian safety company, surfers have an inflatable wetsuit that can bring them from the bottom of an ugly hold-down to the surface in just a few seconds.
Big Wave Surfer Invents Inflatable Life-Saving Wetsuit
Heated Vest System
New surfing technology like this Quiksilver Quiksilver Cypher PS+ Heated Vest system is the first ever battery powered heat vest that can be worn and operated under any wetsuit. This new surfing technology utilizes Far-infrared heat technology and delivers hours of heat (129 deg on high setting and 116 deg on low setting) to your vital organs to maintain your core temperature and extend your session. The Quiksilver Cypher PS+ Heated Vest system comes with a recharge-able battery that will last 2 hours on "High" and a car charger and wall charger with adaptors for different countries. A couple of the many ideal uses include extending your session for another hour or two when you'd typically get cold, surf trips to colder climates and/or in use in the lift line or on the chair lift when you are snowboarding.
