(surfboard cracking)
(yelling) - Welcome back to What's Inside? This video is sponsored by LastPass. And I came all the way
to Southern California. We have one of 200 ever
made Tesla surfboards. That's right, you know they make cars. But did you know that they made a rare edition run of 200 surfboards? I looked on YouTube and
there's not one person that's actually tried this thing out to see if they can surf it. So, there's two questions today. Will the Tesla surfboard actually surf? And then two, what's inside of this thing? Does it have an electric motor? Does it have batteries? Probably not. But, we're gonna break it
in half and see if it does. The sponsor of this part
of the video LastPass, is a tool that relieves the burden from you remembering your passwords. So you can stop getting
locked out of your accounts, because LastPass will

of passwords and usernames download LastPass. The link is in the description. And thank you to LastPass
for sponsoring this video. And now we are gonna get on
to the rest of today's video. Let's go. Here is our professional surfer aka Ben Sullins from Teslanomics, the king of all things Tesla data. - That's right. - And surfing.
- And surfing. - Do you really know how to surf? - Pretty much the king of surfing. I mean Kelly Slater really
looks up to me, I know. - [Dan] Well. let's get
this thing out of this hold. - Okay.
- Whatever this is. (ethereal music) - Oh yeah, there we go. That is Tesla red on this side and then they did carbon
fiber on the other side, kinda like the interior of your Tesla. I mean all of this.
- Logo. - Yeah, a little Tesla logo on there. - [Ben S.] It's a decal I think. - There's no fins. - We need fins. - Did you bring fins? - We brought fins. - They don't come with fins, you might of spent $1500 dollars, three times more than what
you need for a surfboard, (laughs)
but there's no fins. Makes you feel cool
though when you hold it. Feel like you're a surfer. - Girls automatically
think you're way cooler. (70's surfer music) - [Dan] So this is Ben's friend, Ben. And he is an expert with surfboards. He even knows how to do
that cool sign right there that they do in Hawaii. Why is it lighter? Is that good or bad or what? - [Ben S.] It's carbon fiber. - It's an EPS foam board, which is closed cell and lightweight. And then the carbon fiber
is stronger and lighter than typical fiber glass construction. I'm guessing there's
probably only one layer of fiber glass on this. - [Dan] So do you think
it'll break easier? - Carbon fiber is pretty resilient. It might have a little more flex to it. But if we get high enough and if we start jumping
on it, it'll break. - Let's do it. - [Dan] Okay, alright. - [Ben] Alright, first step is to put some actual fins on this. (stellar music) - [Dan] Hey, we got some fins, some blue fins on there, I like it. My tesla Roadster's blue and white so. Okay, what's this guy? - [Ben] This is a leash loop. - [Dan] Okay, this is Ben
deciding to graffiti my board. What's wrong with you? (Ben laughing) What are you doing? - Safety first. See over here it's like slippery. And here it's like, it definitely-- - I didn't know he was going
to be marking it up like this. The artistic value is now officially gone. - [Ben S.] I'm gonna do
this to your car after this. (Dan laughs) - [Dan] A lot of surfers
have gone on Reddit and said how they don't
like this surfboard 'cause it is not very practical. It's one that's supposed
to be on the wall, not really out in the ocean. So, we've got a camera right here. - Good to go. - [Dan] Alright Ben, do your thing. Can it actually surf? Here we go. (slow cool vibe music with heavy bass) He's on! He's surfing the Tesla surfboard! Wooo hooo-hoooo! He did it. Second try (laughs). Ah ha ha, oh no! (water swirling) (peaceful mezmerizing electronic music) Ahh. Ben got a lot of tries out there. I would have to say he did pretty good. Better than I would've done. These are not big waves. Alright, man. How'd it feel? - Good. Waves need to be bigger,
but fun board for sure. When the waves are small like this, you need more surface area, more volume to float you better on. This one can handle much bigger waves. Probably above my pay grade to be honest. So, yeah, I would surf it for sure. Probably wouldn't pay
that much money for it, but the shape and the board
itself is pretty good, yeah. (crashing waves)
(seagull squawks) - Tesla surfboard, it does surf. That was question number one. Number two is, what is
inside of this surfboard? Does it have batteries? Probably doesn't. But that would be a fun
twist that Elon Musk did knowing that What's Inside?
is gonna take it apart. But he probably didn't. I'm gonna try to jump on top it and see if it'll just break if
I just put a lot of pressure in the middle. Will it break if I jump on
top of it in between this? What do you think? - I think what's gonna happen first is we'll probably see it buckle. There'll be like the structural
integrity will break, but it won't fully snap in half. - [Dan] Is this safe? - Uh, don't try it at home. - (laughs) Okay, there's the disclaimer. Here we go. This is our brilliant idea. This was actually... Let it be known this was
Ben's idea to have me jump on top of it inbetween of two Teslas. - Leslie, I really hope
this doesn't go bad. - This is the Tesla surfboard $1,500. We bought it for around $3000 off of Ebay. Right now they are selling
for around $10,000. We probably shouldn't
be doing this right now. But we're doing it for you guys to see what's inside of this thing. The world needs to know. First, I'm just pushing on it. (bike horn) It's pretty strong. - [Ben S.] Dude, here. - Whoa. (Dan laughs) Okay, 200, and what am I now, 205 pounds? - Here we go, here we go. (feet hitting on board) (Dan laughs)
Yes. - That's okay. Alright, I'm getting more comfortable. They built this strong. It is carbon fiber. Probably one layer of thin
carbon fiber on the outside, but... (laughing) Yes!! (board breaking) - [Ben] Nice!
(clapping) - Look at that! - Yes! - Wow, I wasn't even trying to
push it that hard that time. - What? - Okay, let's check this thing out. - That was so... Oh, you almost saved it. - Check that out right there. See how the red just kind of came in? It is full of foam. I don't see any batteries in there. (Ben S. laughs) Elon didn't have a
little Easter egg for us. You actually worked at a
surfboard shop once, right? - Yeah, yeah, I did. - [Dan] Okay, so what
are we looking at here? Is this how every single
surfboard looks on the inside? Is it just this white foam? - Yeah, so there's two
different types of foam. This is called EPS. It's kind of, if you
get in close you can see there's like these tiny little balls. So they're closed cell, very light. The only difference between
this and a normal surfboard, is a lot of them will
have a wooden stringer right down the middle. - [Dan] Stringer. - A very thin piece of wood that helps with the
framing and everything. - All the way from the tip to the tail. But, with carbon fiber,
there's a lot more strength and it's kind of woven in
all different directions so you can get away with
not having one of those. - Right when I broke it, he's
like, I heard them both say, "There's no stringer." And I'm like I have no
idea what that means but. - [Ben] You can see there's
only one layer of carbon fiber. - [Dan] What about this? This isn't carbon fiber, is it? - [Ben] I think this is fiberglass and it's carbon fiber on the deck. - Although it kinda
looks like it's layered. - [Ben] So there's actually fiberglass under the carbon fiber.
- Yeah. - So you've got probably
four ounce fiberglass layered on top of lost
proprietary carbon fiber that they put on here. - [Ben S.] Right, that's 100% carbon fiber with the fiberglass on top. - [Ben] Yeah. - [Dan] Is this how most
$1500 dollar surfboard look on the inside? (Bens laughing) - Yeah, with the addition
of that wood stringer that's really the only
thing that this is missing. - [Ben S.] With the subtraction
of about $800 dollars maybe. - Yeah.
(laughing) That's really surprising. It literally just popped. I'm glad you didn't get hurt. - So, yes, it surfs. And now we know what's inside of it. We didn't have Lincoln here. We're in California. He's in school today. So, I know you guys are sad
that Lincoln's not here. I know Ben's not a full
replacement of Lincoln, but he surfs better than Lincoln. So for this one it made sense. Make sure you check out
Ben Teslanomics channel. All things Tesla. Alright, Tesla. (board hits ground) I'm out. (laughing) They got the cops. They're on to us.
(Ben S. laughs) Let's get out of here, Ben, let's go.
Ben is an awful surfer
Cringe
I can’t believe that jackass has over 6 million subscribers on YouTube. His videos are absolutely childish and parochial
Yikes.
What they don’t know is that carbon fibers shed during failure and are horrible skin irritants, and even worse for your lungs. Sweet Tourmo closeouts... clowns.
Isn’t that surfboard actually worth more? I havent seen Carbon fiber ones for less than 2k
Just be glad these idiots aren't going to be out there surfing with you
Not sure many people caught on to this but that is a black-top board. That is going to get SO HOT if you leave it out in the sun for even a second. have fun re-waxing as the old layer melts too. Why didn't they put the red on top?
That and the unhealthy micro-dust that occurs when carbon fiber starts to chip / ding / fray.
