I also stated in my idea that surfboard could pick up units. Ideally my dgun idea would not be just another roach launcher but also a way to lob units onto land (emergency eject/island assault? Especially with Pyros or something) or jump past defenses (with amph/hovers). Even claymore could be combined with it to allow it to get the drop on amphballs or something. This would in turn allow a "go around" solution in sea if AA was present. Allowing heavier units to get on surfboards would also allow better siege units (think: catapult) to enter the sea domain, allowing more unit variety.

Side effect: heavier artillery entering the sea domain would disallow shielded scallop death balls from gaining prominence.

On the other hand, yes, it would degrade the current state a little bit while current players attempt to figure out how to use it effectively, but at the same time, you later on allow amazing high skill creative play with it which would be cool and maybe make sea a little more interesting. As is, the surfboard isn't very interesting. There's like no units (out side of pillager or impaler) that I could think of that I want in the sea domain that it can carry. If it could carry dante, dante could basically brutalize every boat unless there's an enforcer/crusader somewhere in the mix. If it could carry funnelwebs, you could see some interesting things done with the shields. If it could carry ultis, you could do some drive-bys (if only it was faster). If it could carry heavy tanks, you could see goliaths in sea which may theoretically be pretty good against ships.

That said, a second thing would need to be added: a way to relay orders from the surfboard to the unit aboard it.

I think water balance should be open season
