Surfboard doubles as 10-liter beer tap with built-in pressure chamber
Innovative design lets you drink beer while surfing.
1Design merging surfing and beer
Developed by Chris Garrett in collaboration with Gage Roads Brew Co., the Beerboard combines surfboard and beer tap functions. The custom design holds 10 liters of beer, offering surfers a fun new experience in the water.
2Technical challenges and solutions
Integrating a 10-liter pressurized chamber presented waterproofing and structural challenges. The design team created multiple prototypes to balance beer dispensing functionality with surf performance.
3Tested by professional surfers
Olympic medalist Jack Robinson and pro surfer Brendan Margieson tested the Beerboard at full capacity. Trials evaluated both its surfing performance and beer dispensing functionality in real conditions.
4Fresh take on surf culture
The project literally interprets surfboard volume measurements (in liters), bringing humor to traditional surf design. This innovative concept bridges surf and beer cultures in a unique way.
5Pushing product design boundaries
Beerboard expands the limits of engineering and product design. Maintaining the surfboard's form while adding functionality demonstrates the team's creative problem-solving approach.
6Inspiration for the entertainment industry
This project creates new market opportunities at the intersection of sports equipment and consumer products. Its innovative approach appeals to both surf enthusiasts and beer lovers alike.
