The design aspect of the making of the snowboard is essential to the performance of the board. Without a correct and precise performance, the factory workers would be making boards that break at all times. The whole point of the designer is to make a performance board that lasts at the least the basic terrains of the winter season.
The snowboard actually started with the design of two skis being put together. This was later brought up as the Snurfer. This Snurfer got one man interested to make his own. This man was Jake Burton. The company started when the Snurfer became a huge hit with people in the northern states since they didn’t have water to surf on all year. Burton Snowboarding Company later became a huge hit after multiple trials to make the snowboard.
Jake Burton was the man who made snowboarding into a huge craze. The snowboard started as a flat board with a textured back pad. Lately Burton has been coming out with new board like the split boards.
There are many processes inside the design aspect alone which made the making of the perfect snowboard very difficult. There were many failed project as well as many successful projects. There are many sets of criteria that the designers had to meet and every year there were new sets of criteria to meet. These updated criteria’s either came from the consumers or the designers themselves.
The process that is done in the design process is very much applied in the social aspect of the world. The social aspect of designing came from the wants/needs of the avid snowboarders and even from people who never tried the sport. Without the people there would have been no snowboarding competitions. The design follows the peoples requests, but mainly tries to make the safety and performance of the board better than the previous on.
