Fragile Italian Glass Snowboard: Every Third Thursday
For this month’s episode, Signal Snowboards’ Founder Dave Lee leaves the factory to travel across the sea to an Italian glass factory to create a handmade glass snowboard—the most delicate build to date! The glass snowboard is cut, pressed, tempered, and ever so carefully transported to the slopes. Signal Snowboards Italian team rider Giorgio “Iannino” Morell takes it for the all important test ride at Abetone ski resort in Tuscany. See how this glass artwork performs under pressure—will it slide or shatter?
Check back every third Thursday of the month for another custom snowboard build from Signal Snowboards.

What is the point of that, could see using it as a wall hangar but it looked hard to transfer from edge to edge. It’ll be awesome when it shatters and glass shards get spread all over the mountain. Do you bring it to a window cleaner to tune it?
Imagine all the lines I could do on that thing!
As a Tech: that is insanely dumb.
As a snowboarder: AMAZING!
All good until you hit a rock at speed…
Very cool look none the less.
Saw someone at the tram bragging how flexible the board was. Moments later, shit broke into several pieces, funny shit ever.
because it stopped on the flat really fast it might work to make bases for touring that would not need skins
Where can I get one
no worse than skiing on car bumpers…
Its about the science ,the riding is just a bonus.Like it when u guys give us material like this.
I want to see someone huck a cliff on that thing and watch it shatter to a millions pieces when you hit a rock.
