Bet he smokes the competition at the next open.

[crosdaddy]

I bet he falls on his butt.

They do float.

What a drag, the article doesn’t show the prize or the board.

He must be using some of my dad’s old filters. He always had at least two lit at any time.

[cicero2k]

About 18 months worth, for a typical smoker.

One can only imagine.

[Olog-hai]

Well, here’s the board.

Disclaimer:
I know Lucky Strikes didn’t have a filter, at least
not in the old days.

Looks like its sitting on a coffin. What he might need when the board flies apart.

[TexasCruzin]

Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco. Drilled in our heads.

Cigarette filters are made from wood or cotton cellulose.

Surfers revenge?

I would it consider it stinky board. I have a problem with cigarettes and cigarette butts.

Children probably would be harmed by such a surf board unless butts cannot fill air/things with nicotine. Trying to get people addicted to nicotine? Is that purpose? Or just trying to recycle.

If board get crushed by powerful ocean wave, water polluted with toxic chemical 'nicotine'. How can fish get fix for nicotine addiction?

What if people catch and eat fish? Good for them?

Call it the “Ash Tray.”

Surf em if you got em

I agree, in this day and age how hard is it to post a picture in a news article. Looks to me like he just decorated the board with butts , it doesn’ look like it is actually made out of butts.

[Albion Wilde]

Terrible reporting. What did he use to glue them together, how water-resistant will that be, and how “green” is that? Has to be some kind of plastic.

[Sivad]

That’s refreshing. I was expecting the oft used...
