I’m developing a bindingfree snowboard/skate/surf. Testruns on the first prototypes look promising:

If you have any comments I’d like to hear them. Everyone that have tried my boards like them and I am looking in to the possibilities of manufacturing. I could use some input.

Cheers

Your concept looks great! Have you tried splitting a snowboard? We used this technique for a sit-down bi-ski and the inside edge seemed to grab pretty well. Just a thought. Good luck to you!

I’m glad you liked it. Note that the we filmed in bad conditions: very soft snow and rain. The small skis carve better on hard snow and even ice.

There are still just three prototypes — in Sweden. We are developing the trucks and trying to make them light robust and easy to manufacture. The plan is to raise enough money to be able to make a small batch of boards. We are making progress with the trucks. I am also trying to find someone that could sell me the kind of skis I want: similar to snowblades but wider and higher nose and tail. The problem is that they don’t want to make less that 500 pairs, which is a bit to much to start with.

If any of you have suggestions,connections with the business or if you think you could contribute — or simply just a lot of money to invest! — let me know. Here, or

I really appreciate all comments. Trying to get this board to the market is a huge uphill battle. Boring most of the time but the response from fellow skateboarders, surfers and snowboarders makes it worthwhile.

Thanks for reading,

—and thanks Dale for telling me to write at Swaylocks—

Hard to tell from the photo, but this looks very similar to Burtons snowskate. yours looks like it has a longer ski. they are pretty fun to play around on but have never really caught on very big. at least not here in Canada.

good luck

I’ve such a board … It was 20 or more years ago.

It was sold under the name “SWINGBO” by a company named atomic skis.

I hope yours will be lighter.

It was as heavy as a dead horse …

Good luck to you

It is like a a burton but with two skis — which makes all the difference.

Or like a swingbo but light and with no bindings — which makes all the difference.

I’ve never tried a swingbo. I got the idea for my board after trying a burton snowskate that I thought was very hard to carve. With my board I can carve on ice-hard snow.
