Dave Lee and Signal Snowboards teamed up with the solar design company Powerfilm Solar, can you guess the outcome? Yes, a snowboard with solar panels. This truely unique snowboard design has flexible solar panels attached to the top sheet of the snowboard. Between the snowboard’s mounting you will find a tiny converter.

But why would someone need electricity while they snowboard? Many boarders will be out all day, with little or no chance to power up their smart phones, i-Pods and other electronics. This new solar design allows for snowboarders to take advantage of free-electricity that is readily available from the sun.
