I'm probably breaking some rule or other but I just cannot keep this one to myself! During my recent sojourn in Singapore I worked with some young go ahead Australian guys who, in the odd moments of sobriety that we shared, asked me to help them develop a fantastic new surfing concept especially for all you surf mad domestic Gods and Goddesses out there. Does ironing keep you away from the surf? Do you yearn to be out there riding epic waves? Does getting little Johnnie's school shirts ironed stop you from being where you want to be. Out with your mates riding the waves. Well now you can with the new Dillaboing Ironing Surf Board. This revolutionary new design means that not only can you iron as you ride but that all your ironing will have that sea breeze freshness. PLUS, for you newbies to the waves; put the stand down and you'll look professional in just three feet of water! Imagine the envious looks you'll receive from your friends as they iron away stuck indoors. Plus, for a short time only, we're throwing in our patented iron board lanyard. Just plug this baby into any 110/240 volt mains supply and you'll be able to surf and iron safe in the knowledge that if you and your board become separated, you only have to pull on the cable to retrieve your board via the iron. That's shocking I know. All this for just US$10,000! Yes you read that right. Just US$10,000!! So c'mon. What excuse can you come up with not to buy one NOW!!

I'm surprised at you, trying to cash in on the exteme ironing trend so popular among men who have totally lost their marbles.

I feel as though I could be missing out on something grand! I don't iron. I CAN iron. But I don't.
I don't live near any large body of water that would accommodate surfing either.
Make that price from $10K U.S. to $10K Cdn, and maybe we can talk.

LMAO... You are too funny. THAT'S what I have missed. Your humor.
If it comes with an iron, I will definitely by one! I live 30 minutes away from the beach. But you see.. I don't own an iron. I rely on the dryer at the last second to get my wrinkles out. But maybe with this new combo at the insane price of only $10,000 dollars, I might actually get something done!
What number do I call?

I'll put that down as a sale Dizz. A very wise decision too. Just think, you'll get all that ironing done - the free lanyard is an iron - and surf at the same time. Just imagine your family's face as you emerge from the waves with a neat pile of ironing just waiting for them to put on!! I'm starting to believe this rubbish myself now!! LOL.

Does ironing keep me away from the surf? NO WAY! I've been using the Dillaboing for years ... hangin' five when I'm zooming down the legs of trousers, gulping saltwater as I maneouvre around those tricky corners ... WOO! The patented lanyard sounds like an excellent addition - I'll have one of those, please! Just have to wait until my crushed toes recover from the last time the damn thing collapsed on me ...

HA! 
I'll bet they'd sell a couple of those, people will buy anything!
If they keep thinking along those lines, they'll come up with something really marketable, I'll bet. That's creativity, and that's what's needed in the market these days. Good luck to them!

Oh! just had a vbrain wave though an you add the ability of teaching yourself the surfing part too. It might come in handy for newbies like me.

Wow!
This post really kept me amazed for a while. I had to read it over and over again to realize that im supposed to post something instead of constantly reading!!
Well.. your idea seems to be an absolute bright star in the dark sky!!
Who would have thought.. efficiency is the word that really describes your product.. Its going to be a hit and will definitely make a lot of many sales.. Priced at 10,000 USD it seems as though this is up for a steal!!
Any freebies you giving away with this?
PS: I never really had an excuse to say NO.. Was just trying to dig deeper..

Well as an incentive we can give you 250 shirts that need ironing. Just iron them on your existing board and then post them back to us and we'll reward you for your endeavour. Not sure what with. But think of the fun that you'll have with all that ironing. I know I know. You want to resist, but go with this one. 250 shirts on their way....LOL. Welcome to myLot by the way. Not everyone is a screwball like me!
