Luke Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Just wanted to share with people on the east coast. I got my Smoking A-team last year (www.smokinsnowboards.com). Quality so far is great and they are hand built in Utah from recyclable materials. Props for an American company trying to make a difference.

OutCold Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Similarly, I got my Venture Zephyr last year from Silverton, CO. It is easily the best board I've ever ridden. It is also made by hand using sustainably harvested wood in a facility powered entirely by wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased one of these last year as well (Venture makes all their boards in various widths). It is a great ride and well built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method9455 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 from recyclable materials. Uh, not really. Fiberglass is near impossible to recycle so no matter what its made of, the board as a whole can never be recyclable. Though they do use sustainable wood and what not, thats all good, but I really don't think there will ever be recylable snowboards. I'm interested to know their lineage, is Mervin behind them or did they just license Magne Traction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U're right about the fiberglass. The products that can be recyclable on a snowboard are recycled though which is I guess what they mean by using recycled materials.
