Making a snowboard comes with multiple steps. It depends on the company and techniques, of course, but the basics are as follows: Assemble the board layer by layer with epoxy and other materials, press the board (usually in a pneumatic press) until it’s cured, finish the board with trimming, shaping, and more.
Back in 2014, though, as part of their Every Third Thursday series, Signal Snowboards used the pressure of the sea to press and cure a snowboard.
They pressed the board in Milford Sound, an area within Fiordland National Park in New Zealand. The board was placed at a depth of 100 feet. At that depth, nitrogen will dissolve in the blood enough for it to become a danger, potentially leading to nitrogen narcosis if enough is forced into the blood stream.
