This discussion has gotten me thinking about fairings. How odd would that be?

They would be hot inside and also they would be to heavy to mount and would cause more wind resistance in cross wind than just you and your board.
Motorcycles or scooter that have full fairing have been known to get blown all over the road in heavy cross winds. That why the Naked Bikes have been making a comeback.

Perhaps something like this could work. This guy, Oscar Egg, held the bike speed record on and off for a couple years.
