Glad to hear this is happening.
As for snowboarding and wooden toys, the funnest time I’ve ever had going sideways is on a handmade pow surfer.
5 ply blank someone I know presses, and I cut it out, shape it, sand it, paint it, and put a bit of traction on it (I’ve found that strips of old mountain bike tire works best).
Hike up a snowy hill and surf it. Nothing else I’ve done comes close to the fun.
Guys are starting to get technical on them, doing steep stuff and kick flipping them too.
