    50 Beautiful Snowboard Designs

    Categories: Color, Design, Print

    In this post, we feature 50 outstanding and beautiful snowboard designs. The vertical space creates unique design challenges and interesting compositions, in a multitude of design styles.

    Snowboard design is a growing and popular trend among graphic designers. In fact, there’s a number of competitions around the world centered exclusively around snowboard design, such as the Salomon and Artec competitions.

    Some of the images provided here are from mock up designs and are not available as actual snowboards, however the majority of these images link to the online stores where you can purchase the actual snowboards.

    Judging from the designs, these are as fun to make as snowboarding itself, so let’s get inspired and let the fun begin!



    Have you designed snowboard art? If you did, go ahead and post your work here, and if you didn’t why not take this as a challenge and start designing yours? We’d love to see your work!

    I’m on my second snowboard, looking to buy my third. And I’m a huge fan of the designs on all the boards. Very very creative. Personally, I’m liking the bamboo boards.

    I think my favorite board designs (bottom) are solid, bright colors…they make the snow appear to glow underneath them as you ride.

    I love how snowboarding designs have just progressed into their own art form. These are great and there is so much potential for more design. Great additions here. Thanks.

    the cool thing about snowboardbrands is their progressive style, and most of the brands are working closely together with upcoming designers and artists to get a fresh serie of boards each year!

    another great example is imperivm snowboards… a belgian brand which is using tattoo artists and street artists to style their decks! (http://www.imperiumsnow.com)

    Just as art is subjective (blah, blah…art for art’s sake spiel), not everyone will agree that these board designs are worthy of being showcased here, and will poo-poo on someone’s parade. Personally, I do have a few favorite board designs that I wouldn’t mind picking up in a store. Cityscapes were the rage for a while, since every other tween on the slopes had some urban-themed board underfoot.

    I’m just thankful to have kept my collection of Morrow and Burton boards I’ve purchased over the past two decades (yikes), and could care less what others think of my design selection. I like them all…

    Most are pretty nice. But there is not much selection of companies showcased.
    Check out Lib-Tech or Gnu. My personaly favorite and they have cool artwork.

    You have some nice board designs in here but im surprised I didnt see any ARBORS. Im an avid snowboarder and currently own an Arbor. Their boards have some clean graphics on them and ride like a charm. Known for their natural wood top sheets and zen-like quality graphics, they are hard to dismiss. (anything last year and older in my opinion. Im not really feeling 2010 styles)

    EXAMPLES OF ARBORS:

    Loving most of these. Admittedly, I’m fan of the cleaner, more minimalistic styles, so boards like 102, 142…not really my thing. 413, 215…those are probably my favorites. Very nice list, there are some gorgeous boards here.
