yeah, but then you need to snowboard.
Pffft. The only thing that would complete that thing is a rainbow airbrush.
When will surfers realize that snowboarding is the bodyboarding of mountain sports?
SuPu is correct!
anybody eles think: spatulas with fins??
Number one: That guy Rob Machado could probably ride a guitar case in the waves and make a decent go of it.
Number two: That thing looks about as easy to turn on snow as a supertanker. They switched fins on it. Wonder how it would ride with the surf fin on it? Wonder how squirrely it would be with NO fin?
Number three: Does this go in the ski/snowboard forum or the surf forum?
Number four: Awesome video !! Thanks HotTate!
Who cares? They got the thing to turn on surf AND snow....they did what they set out to do. But I still say it's a surfboard with binders on it.

EDIT: Obviously, Superstar Panini has never SUCCESSFULLY snowboarded in his life.
Incidently, here's the vid with the original footage of Dave Downing riding that surfboard on snow back in 1998. He took the fins off. He's basically riding the contours of the slope, since the damn thing is damn hard to turn without bindings.
Nice, fluid pop-up, though !!
The rest of the video shows Dave "body surfing" on the mountain, as Super Punani calls it.
Sure doesn't look like 'body surfing' to me.
