Taking Kontrol

Beginning snowboarders often worry about how they’ll stop, but now Streetboardz Boarder Kontrol offers a solution with a special “brake” designed to crave into the snow. It features a curve on the metal blade to help riders learn to carve and turn while slowing down as well. The only downside to this system is that it does require a modification to the actual snowboard. For that reason the company is focused on supplying the hardware to schools and rental shops rather than bringing it to retail. Video after the jump
