Translate this page:

Makboard is a new California-based company that has developed the world's only clear, recyclable snowboard.

It is the brainchild of Bob Chandler, who worked with his cousin Bob Ryan to make a board that felt more like 'surfing the snow.'

The end result is an extremely flexibile, completely transparent board that is more 'eco-friendly' than anything else on the market.

The boards are made from Bayer Makrolon, the same material that is used to make bulletproof windows.

How cool is that?

For more information, visit the Makboard website.

  • Yeah. Watch the snow as it passes underneath your feet... completely unaware of the ever impending doom that is the tree directly ahead of you. Oh oh!
