Cool! That might be the first time I've seen a regular snowboard used with a windsurfing sail. It seems like it would be awkward only being able to ride toeside on one of the tacks, but those guys make it look alright. I don't think I'll drill any holes in my snowboard just yet, though.

Hi.
Sturle from Norway. How do you fasten the rig to the snowboard? If you just drill a hole, I guess it will be broken in the first leg.. Some closeup of the equipment would be nice!

Great stuff Puffy! Have you tried anything like that?

Bunty, I have not tried snow sailing (though I've tried ice windsurfing several times.
Sturle, I don't know the people who made the video so I can't find out what they did, but I believe one of the guys I sail with (Frank, are you reading this) has a snowboard with a rig mount. If I see him soon and he has his board, I'll take a photo or two of the setup.
