The Inertia

Cybertrucks are the worst. However, ever since Elon Musk unveiled Tesla’s hideous, brittle, malfunctioning nightmare-wagon, the one small comfort has been that we’re only likely to encounter them on land. Thanks to South Bay shaper Ry Harris, that is no longer true.

In a new Instagram video, Ry and videographer Brad Jacobson hauled out a modified paddleboard designed to look like the truck, aptly named the cyberboard. Either that, or it’s supposed to look like a five-year-old’s drawing of a car, because the two are indistinguishable.

Unburdened by aesthetic taste or shame, the pair took the monstrosity out to El Porto in Manhattan Beach. Pretty much immediately, someone attempted to drop in on the cyberboard, despite being barked off multiple times and, more importantly, having a massive DIY floating pickup truck bearing down on them. I wish I could hail this unknown interloper as a hero standing up against the forces of evil, but really it was just El Porto being El Porto.

However, this seems to be far from the end of the cyberboard. As Harris ominously captioned on the Instagram post, “Yes it exists, yes it floats, yes it has LED Lights, and we can even convert it into a foil board.”
