Snowboard Recycling Part II - Ride Revival

The snowboard-recycling theme seems to be continuing in my life. The boyfriend is keen to turn his old snowboard into garden furniture, as it will be cheaper, more eco-friendly and ultimately cooler than anything you can pick up in Ikea. He has been eyeing up the snowboard that currently has pride of place hanging as artwork in the hall and it looks like this once well-ridden and loved board is going to be reincarnated for the third time.

Looking through some sites, I came across Ride Revival. Their motto: “A ride for life not just a season.” They want to turn your old snowboards into artwork or chairs as mentioned in yesterdays blog.

Snowboard chair

Their site features funky looking chairs, which you can buy pre-made or if you want to give it a go yourself, you can buy the frame from them to create your very own snowboard chair. They also have a page where you can sell them your old board (although this does say – coming soon).

This is another example of a company saving hard-to-recycle items from landfill. According to the Ski Club of Great Britain, Tamworth SnowDome is so keen on the idea it is donating all its old rental boards to Ride Revival.

Their ‘Hiking a Line’ artwork looks fab and I’m sure it would make a welcome addition to any ex-seasonniare’s home. It would also look nice on the wall of my multi-million pound chalet in Val D’Isere… (daydreaming, lol).

Good work Ride Revival, smart chairs and artwork. I’ll be interested in what other products you can come up with.
