The Surfa has been designed by the industry leaders, Stealth. The Surfa has incredible wave surfing capabilities and is the ideal craft for youngsters to have heaps of fun on. The cost of the Surfa is R2795.00 but it will be a lifetime of fun. The Surfa kayak weighs only 15kg and is made of highly durable polyethelene which makes the Surfa indestructible!

Based on the concept of a waveski or paddle ski, Stealth designed the surfa with a little bit extra length and width than a traditional waveski. Measuring in at 2,9m long and 0,6m wide this gives the kayaker a little extra stability so that they can spend more time having fun rather than learning to balance. Ultimately a super fun family kayak that caters for everyone. The Surfa is light enough for the kids to handle and paddle. The Surfa Kayak is able to cater for a person up to 80kgs so even mom and the older kids can have a blast. Another great feature is the varying positions or foot length options on the kayak meaning that it is suitable for people of all different heights from small kids to average size adults.

The Surfa is a fun and easy to use kayak with no panic of it breaking and breaking the bank

3D Biomechanical Tattoos are the new thing in the world of Ink where people keep pushing the boundaries of ink, flesh and design.

Biomechanical Tattoos Show 3D Showcase to the Body

Well biomechanical tattoos aren’t really that new, according to Tattoomixer, this powerful image that shows the synthesis between flesh and machine, first became popular in the 1980s.

“It often involves using a three-dimensional rendering to showcase the impossible, mechanical flesh peering out from underneath your skin. Imagine a tattoo that shows your skin tearing away and revealing mechanical rods where your tendons should be, or metal plating where there should be flesh.”

A USB Drive that can be used as a AA battery in an emergency could come in very handy.

We know that many people work with their USB drive hooked up to their computer. I know I sometimes forget about mine and only notice it days later when I’m looking for my flash stick to copy a file .

Wonchul Hwang, on Yanko designs understands how to add value to that USB stick drive? “How about doubling as a AA battery! Yes, the kind that recharges in USB mode and turns into a functional AA when the need arises; rightly calling it the AA USB.”

Use compass mode to orient yourself with 3D buildings.

Google maps for mobile were launched more than five years ago according to the Google blog, but now they have a whole range of new features.

We all use Google Maps on our blogs and websites, but how many of us use them on our mobile phones? Well Google, says the number is 100 million! They also explain how they’ve added plenty of features over the years, but now – ta-da – the next generation of mobile maps.

Using vector graphic, the maps can now be explored in 3D. You can tile, rotate, zoom and you have compass mode.

Offline Reliability

According to GoogleMobile Blog, Google Maps has always been, and continues to be, a fundamentally Internet-connected experience, meaning you always get the freshest map and place data, search and voice search, live traffic conditions, satellite and Street View imagery, and much more. Still, we understand that mobile Internet connections aren’t 100% reliable. So today we’re happy to take the first steps toward greater offline reliability, so you can find your way even if you lose your connection.
