# Augmented Snowboard Projects Signal Snowboards Creates an Absurd Snowboard Design Every Month By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-02-24 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signal-snowboards References: [ufunk.net](http://www.ufunk.net/insolite/glass-snowboard/) & [signalsnowboards](http://signalsnowboards.com/) The Signal Snowboards team has a project day like no other in what they like to call Every Third Thursday. This ingenious day consists of bringing a wacky snowboard idea to life. As a result of this fun and creative concept the team has created snowboards with integrated [iPads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scoreboardtv), snowboards made from fragile glass and [snowboard guitars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-guitar-1) to name a few. Signal Snowboards is known for its innovative and outside-the-box designs including a snowboard that can separate into [two skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-fry-skis) and a shovel. This project takes it to an entirely different level as most of the ideas they actualize are done for the laughs rather than functionality. This is a great team-building exercise, and it has also caught the attention of many fans. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Publicity Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/publicitystunts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Creative Snowboard Designs:** Opportunity for companies to create unique and innovative snowboard designs that stand out in the market. - **Integration of Technology in Snowboarding:** Opportunity to integrate technology, such as iPads or sensors, into snowboard design to enhance the user experience. - **Unconventional Snowboard Materials:** Opportunity to experiment with unconventional materials, such as glass or composite materials, in snowboard manufacturing for unique performance characteristics. ### Who This Affects Most - **Snowboard Manufacturing:** Opportunity for snowboard manufacturers to develop new technologies and materials for innovative snowboard designs. - **Outdoor Retail:** Opportunity for outdoor retail companies to offer a wide range of creative and technologically advanced snowboard designs to attract customers. - **Sports Equipment Technology:** Opportunity for companies specializing in sports equipment technology to collaborate with snowboard manufacturers and integrate their products into snowboard design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-End Snowboard Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moncler-grenoble-xx-whitespace.md) - [Upcycled Skateboard Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-rpsd.md) - [Sleek Freestyle Snowboard Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welcome-x-686.md) - [Riproaring Electric Snowboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-snowboard.md) - [Fun-Filled Inflatable Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inflatable-board.md) - [Playful Performance-Ready Snowboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardiff-snowcraft-the-lynx.md) - [Fashion House Snowboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-snowboard.md) - [Biotech-Informed Surfboard Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battboard-electric-surfboard.md) - [Multipurpose Modular Watersports Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watersports-board.md)
