A company called Ride Society has created a snowboard using hemp as a component in its construction. You can read a complete review of the board here:
Ride Society UL Snowboard
An excerpt from the review is copied below the image.
"As if the Society’s UL construction wasn’t already light enough, to help further decrease the weight, the board’s top deck features Hempbrain technology, thus eliminating the traditional plastic top. Instead, an ultra-thin layer of hemp that’s both lighter and more durable than traditional top decks is in place, with the added environmental benefits that hemp is both easily renewable and requires little processing to use."
I don't know what Hempbrain technology is but since I am in favor of pretty much everything that has anything to do with hemp, this brand is now my favorite snowboard. Doing a google search on 'hempbrain technology' only brings me back to Ride Snowboard's website and product reviews so it looks like a proprietary technology but good luck to them and remember that every hemp product you buy is a vote with your dollars in favor of industrial hemp.
