The special conditions on sand need specific equipment, hence this special board. “The front area is wide for more boosts in the sand and gets narrow in the back for aggressive maneuvers. The bottom side is slightly convex from nose to tail for an optimal float angle. The top side is vaulted therefore no sand amasses on the board and transfers more power from the foot to the board by the rampant angle. The foot loops assure an easy step in or out and transmit foothold and control of the board to the driver.” Apparently these loops can be fastened for Goofy or Regular riders.

Here’s a bunch of new swarovski-studded snowboards that might help you look a little bit more stylish on the way down.  Of course, these crystals will fall off eventually, just the nature of snowboards but if you need to look good while your snowboard is new, go ahead, we won’t stop you.

Two leading Swiss and Austrian companies have collaborated with the University of Art and Design Lausanne (ECAL) to exhibit original and offbeat snowboards at the 2008 Milan Furniture Fair. Under the leadership of Pierre Keller, director of the ECAL, and Augustin Scott de Martinville, a member of the ECAL te/aching staff, students studying Industrial Design and Visual Communication were able to “-customise-” snowboards manufactured by Nidecker by graphically inlaying Swarovski crystals.
