Time magazine on November 21 named the Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology wireless surfboard as one of the Coolest Inventions of 2004. The world's first Wi-Fi surfboard debuted at a sports festival in the United Kingdom in June, where a wireless "hotspot" allowed surfers to connect to the Internet and check out the latest surf and weather reports. The 9' 4" Gulfstream½ longboard features a tablet PC sealed in a watertight plastic shell.
