    I know it would be pretty unrealistic, but it would be so cool if
    someone could get a uni frame on a long board surfboard. Mine is
    shortboard, but longboard would be more stable.

    Bicycle is just a short way of saying unicycle with a training wheel.

    i havent built one, but it would be cool to try one. it would be so hard
    to balance. surfing takes enough, then sitting on a seat. in the picture
    above, the fork isn't connected to the board.

    How 'bout one of these:

    [image: http://www.hydrofoilsurfing.com/images/DSC_0009.jpg]

    From a '60 minues article' (http://tinyurl.com/38pwy):

    "This time, he came up with a strange-looking contraption he calls a
    foilboard, which cuts through the water like a knife, and allows the
    surfer to sail above the bumps on the surface of the waves.

    “This board just cuts through the chop. But you've gotta keep your
    balance on it,” says Hamilton. He makes it sound easy, but other surfers
    told us it's like trying to surf on a unicycle."
