Other Uses of An Old Snowboard

Are you looking for some Uses for an Old Snowboard? Snowboarders often think all they can do is to trade it in. There are other options, especially if it was a sick board you had a real connection with and really don’t want to see it go.

If you're not sure what you're doing, there's no need to be embarrassed. There are a lot of people who either don't know what to do with their old boards or simply are too sentimental to get rid of theirs. Here are a couple of great Uses for an Old Snowboard that you can get for yourself.

1. Use as a freestyle shredder:

This is probably one of the most common uses for an old snowboard. People often trade their used snowboards for a newer model when they find out that they have improved to a higher level and demand a more technical or premium snowboard. However, using your old board to screw around in the terrain park, hit those rails and boxes without worrying if you scratch it is a breath of fresh air, keeping your new expensive board for the all mountain stuff.

2. Use as an early / late season board:

We know how it is, summer is gone, your gear is already out, you’ve already waxed it even in the excitement of the first snow. The snow starts coming down and the mountain still doesn’t open… you are itching to get those first carves in. As soon as they open up the ski hill, you are up there in the thinnest possible layer of white dust, inevitable there are rocks just below the surface, sometimes even poking through. It’s a recipe for disaster if you just spent your hard earned cash on buying a new high end board. Cue : the old snowboard (aka “The Rock Board”). Your old oard makes the perfect tool to slay the early season mountain, glide over those rocks and not have a care in the world. (This goes for late spring skiing season aswell as the snow is almost gone)

Snowboard Coffee Table Project Completion

When you have completed your coffee table using an old snowboard, you can dress it up with some fabric paint or stain to give it some personality.

Before you start decorating it, you may want to cover up the parts that are less than attractive, remove those dodgy old free stickers and get it so it starts cool and suits your needs perfectly. You could even use bright colors on the pieces that are less attractive to catch the attention of the passersby. Be creative when decorating your old snowboard, give it some love bro (or sis) !

As you can see, there are ways that people have gotten creative with the old things that they have. So, if you have an old board sitting around, why not give it a second life?

One thing to keep in mind is that your design should tie into the theme of your room. For example, if you have a bedroom with a very cowboy type of look, then you would not want to decorate it with something that has the snowboard dude look. The way how to make a coffee table from a snowboard really comes down to you. The best thing to do is spend some time thinking about what kind of style you would like. It is something you will probably want to change out of time to time so it makes sense to have it fit in with what you currently have going on. You can subtly change the overall impact of the snowboard table by painting it.

When you have spent some time and skills converting you old snowboard into an awesome looking table, it is now time to get back to the grind so you can afford to buy the latest sickest model in time for the winter season coming.
