Meet Thomas Meyerhoffer

March 30, 2010 | Words By: Chris S

thomas-meyerhoffer-by-chris-stevens At the Noosa Festival of Surfing the other week I was lucky to catch some time with Thomas Meyerhoffer, who some of you may know as the inventor of the Peanut, a radical new board that pretty much defies categorisation.

Check out the full feature here - Peanuts.

Those of you who aren’t familiar with the board might be interested to see it in action, has anyone out there already given it a go? What do you think?
