Springbreak CAPITA Snowboards

Conceptualized in 2010 by Corey Smith & friends.

Spring Break Snowboards was conceptualized in 2010 by artist/snowboarder Corey Smith and friends. Our vision was to create an art project in the form of a fictional snowboard company with zero creative boundaries. At the height of homogenized twin-tip snowboard design, Spring Break set out to deconstruct modern snowboarding and re-introduce the beauty of the sport through its surf-style roots. The focus was to find grace in simply turning a snowboard and exploring the mountain from an entirely different perspective.
