A surfboard that had been hollowed out, packed with bricks of marijuana then glued back together was found by Border Patrol agents Wednesday while patrolling a beach in close proximity to the international border fence in Imperial Beach, California.
 
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that the discarded board -- really just a fiberglass shell -- was filled with more than 36 pounds of marijuana and would have bore a street value of just under $30,000.

No one was taken into custody and the seized drugs were surrendered to the appropriate authorities.
