Abstract: I have created a proto-type invention for use on the surface water, that consists of a standard 7′6″ surfboard used to ride ocean waves. The materials I used to create a reduced resistance surfboard consist of small quartz stones and casting resin. I have measured the top-side resistance of the surfboard with the bottom textured side. The performance equates to an increase of 48% of the surfboards ability to move on the water. By using weights, placed in a container and tied to a length of rope draped over a pole, and with the other end of the rope attached to the surfboard, and allowing the surfboard to freely drift in a consistent river current until, by adding additional weights into the container, the rope stopped moving over the pole, and comparing the pound weight balance point of one side to the other, I have concluded that my invention has merit.
