...Wave Inventor: Mark Itnyre and Peter Mehiel Availability: Now, $850 to $1,200 To Learn More: hydroepic.com After decades of riding waves on boards made of foam and fiberglass, surfers have a high-tech alternative. Hydro Epic boards are hollow on the inside but have an extra-sturdy shell made of a carbon fiber-Kevlar composite and a thin aluminum honeycomb.
