You want to own a Tesla but don’t have the cheddar for for a Model 3? No problem, just scrape together $1,500 and you can own a sick Tesla you can get barreled in. These limited edition Tesla Surfboards are a colab between Tesla Design Studio and Lost Surfboards and have the same finishes as their cars. They are also fit comfortably inside or outside the Model S, X and 3. I wonder if Elon gets pitted? Full Description below:

Designed by the Tesla Design Studio in collaboration with Lost Surfboards and Matt “Mayhem” Biolos, surfboard shaper for World Surf League Championship athletes. The Limited Edition Tesla Surfboard features a mix of the same high-quality matte and gloss finishes used on all our cars. The deck is reinforced with light-weight “Black Dart” carbon fiber, inspired by the interiors in our cars, and featuring tonal logos in subtle contrast gloss.

Model S, X and 3 can comfortably accommodate this surfboard on either the inside or outside of the vehicle.

Each surfboard is custom made to order. Only 200 will be produced. Please allow 2-10 weeks for production and delivery. Fins not included.

“Black Dart” Carbon Fiber

Lost Surfboard’s signature “Black Dart” carbon fiber is built with a 1.5 lbs. stringer-less EPS Core. Using a Bio-Based Epoxy Resin, this material wraps the deck with custom woven Carbon/S-glass hybrid material–the carbon fibers run nose to tail, while S-Glass fibers run crosswise, rail to rail. As a result, the Limited Edition Tesla Surfboard maintains the quick reaction, highly responsible, memory benefits of carbon fiber. The bottom features two layers of 4oz cloth, for maximum strength and dent resistance.
