I agree with Bob. The student’s work is clearly derivative if not a copy. I did a Yahoo search for Burton boards since the designer’s site Jostein pointed to seems to indicate that his design was for that company. I did an unaided eye-ball scan of Yahoo images for Burton snowboards going back to 2010, saw nothing like this design or the one on the designer’s site. So if it is copied, it could be from an earlier board. My suspicion from the way Burton designs vary, I would guess that this was a women’s rather than a men’s board.
In addition to the designer, maybe try contacting Burton? stan On 15 May 2014, at 09:54, Mark Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > Bob Sullivan wrote: > >> Looking at the snowboard on the site Jostein uncovered, >> I'd give him an "F".
