Found interesting article in Entrepreneur magazine

Profiles two startups,

His "Configur8or" is a web application that lets people design their own snowboards. The software automates the cutting and aligning of all the pieces of the board, and Johnston programmed a press (the machine that compresses those pieces into a snowboard) to automatically move and adjust based on custom specs.

And another one (paintball on snowboards)... wonder if that would ever go to production

It's a hot afternoon in July, and Signal founder and CEO Dave Lee and his team are testing a paintball gun on a mannequin. The plan is to mount the gun to a board for an epic snowboard-paintball battle scheduled the following week on Mount Hood in Oregon.

My boys have a few Team 8 boards and they are top notch. They are super easy to work with and treat you great. These are the "hardcore" sticks up at Sugarloaf. I cant say enough good things about them.
