I'd like to see some intergration of a solar panels as a power source and the issue of safety in regards to children climbing on the product.<br />Alexander Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892242250876482715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720126889669733902.post-3232880237942091492012-10-15T10:38:28.287-07:002012-10-15T10:38:28.287-07:00nice idea, i'd love to hit the beach and rent ...nice idea, i'd love to hit the beach and rent a surfboard for a single use to see if i enjoy it before investing in a surfboard. This system has great potential. One suggestion could be since this is a very technological product it might benefit from some solar panels to help sustain the system.

It suits the brief very well and I believe that it can be a very worthwhile investment for any company to look into. Well done!James Chen z3294915https://www.blogger.com/profile/06235686260089866199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720126889669733902.post-48247204502725824452012-10-14T19:07:43.909-07:002012-10-14T19:07:43.909-07:00Cool idea!

There is obviously a lot of hidden technical detail that needs to be refined but I think it can be achieved quite cheaply with open source controller interfaces. And I think you can justify the use of technology, in the same way a hire company would invest in labour, storage and transport etc.Seb Gregory Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09377988579425646240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720126889669733902.post-16454827571294191622012-10-14T19:05:37.874-07:002012-10-14T19:05:37.874-07:00I really like this design, I think you have really...I really like this design, I think you have really captured the target market with the housing design. I'm sure this PSS would have great potential. I'm sure there would be a huge market that would be interested in this system and i can see it taking off.

This is a great idea for someone just wanting to learn to surf without the need to pay for a board straight up. A consideration would be vandalism. You could possibly change the glass paneling to be less prone to tagging and vandalism.kate barclayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543912156520537229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720126889669733902.post-34924155270948507682012-10-14T18:09:47.786-07:002012-10-14T18:09:47.786-07:00i really like this idea of a surfboard hire statio...i really like this idea of a surfboard hire station. this will provide people with a product that brings so much joy and happiness to people. i find it also fantastic that it is environmentally friendly although a better interaction system and visuals will make it a lot better.Lukas Cubirkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237829017279221495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720126889669733902.post-24617736210208656202012-10-14T17:54:53.591-07:002012-10-14T17:54:53.591-07:00This seems to be a really cool idea.

The rental system is a good idea for those that don't own a board or a casual surfers. <br />One improvement I'd suggest is to have some other graphics as well.

The shape suit the environment, but the wood backing would have been nicer is a lighter more 'fresher' wood tone. It is good that it is all electronic taking the need for someone to stand there but I would worry what would happen if someone did not put the board in properly and they got stuck, stopping the whole system. I could imagine seeing this down at the beach front.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
