Snowboard Designs

Tonight I watched "The Art of Flight" featuring phenomenal snowboarder Travis Rice. The movie made me really want to go snowboarding again. I used to go a couple a year while I was in high school, just around Wisconsin. Even though the hills were not large and I wasn't amazing - I couldn't do any tricks, but I didn't fall very often either - I really enjoyed snowboarding and I do want to start doing it again. 


I also think a snowboard is a unique canvas for designers. The long shape and general understanding of snowboarding as an extreme sport open wide range of graphic possibilities. Since I could not go snowboarding immediately after watching "The Art of Flight" I found some snowboards that I think are well designed. 


Enjoy.
