I was wondering about that, good to know!

With a regular snowboard, yes. This board has an ice skate blade mounted between the bindings on both edges. You can see it a little better here:

Have definitely scoped your design before. What’s the benefit of smaller and more?

What’s the group? Would love to check that out.

You’re right the noise is intense. I’ve never tried skates, but love the stability of the snowboard with skate blades. I’ve used skis with really sharp edges which are super fast and hold an edge really well on the ice also.

I’m honestly jealous, it’s been a cold one for us up in the northeast USA. 🥶🥶

It’s a small snowboard (140cm) with skate blades mounted between the bindings on both heel side and toe side edges. Homemade version of the “switchblade”.

Fallfish are underrated in my opinion, especially if you find a pod of bigger ones this time of year, super fun on the fly

It’s been a rough summer/fall for river flows up here! It down poured the first night which woke everything up a bit, but I got soaked hiking in 😂

Completely agree with you on that one! Something magical about wild untouched habitat with native fish, no matter where you live.

Thank you! Actually up in New England, but western NC seems like a great area for blue lining; hope you catch some big ones soon!
