Say hello to the iShred, snowboarders’ tribute to Steve Jobs (video)

Every third Thursday, the team at California based Signal Snowboards desire to spice things up some and make something just a little more outside the box. This time across the team selected making a fitting tribute to Steve Jobs — a custom ride complete with built-in iPad — and thus the iShred was born. Under no circumstances a cut-and-shut affair, the team take inspiration from the easy, yet creative, design principles that resulted in ideas just like the iPad Smart Cover. A layer of ABS with a cut out for the screen sits atop an all aluminum base, sandwiching an Apple-esque illuminated Signal logo — presumably so that you know when your WiFi is on while avoiding-piste. Power is cleverly supplied only when contact is equipped by the presence of a rider. In the event you think it truly is all only for show, reconsider, as they final product gets taken out at the slopes and put through its paces, complete with a little bit après-ski Facetime.
