Take Flight



This board design is for a Burton Snowboard Design Competition hosted by Blank You Very Much. This design is for the Tattle Tale board, a girl's board, being judged by Kimmy Fasani. Kimmy's design request is for a board that gets away from the usual graphics that can be found on a girl's board, something unique. As a female boarder I couldn't agree with her more. Way too many boards out there for women are too girly and just not edgy enough, the most common theme I see is lots of pink and purple swirls, yuck! The concept "Take Flight" is based on the contests description of Kimmy, "fearlessly flying where no woman has gone before" as well as the sense of flight and speed one actually experiences when snowboarding, whether cruising down the mountain or hitting a jump, snowboarding gives us a sense of freedom that can be described as being just like flying.
