has been combining graduate
student know-how with the
needs of undergraduate entrepre

is hoping that a new business
plan will catapult the company
further into the limelight.
At this year’s AWIA trade
show he premiered his latest de
sign for the Landsailor. Unlike a
conventional longboard, the new
design has larger wheels and a
carbon fiber body designed by an
engineer at Boeing.
“The engineer saw my prod
uct, and he liked the idea,” Maris
said. “He took on the project just
for fun, and I have been working
with him ever since.”
The latest Landsailor design is
highly maneuverable and is ca
pable of speeds in excess of 30
mph.
“It takes very little wind to
power the Landsailor because it
doesn’t have nearly the resis
tance of water,” Maris said.
