The State Corporation Rosatom, together with the Russian brand of ski and snowboard equipment "Pepper Boards", has presented an exclusive collection of snowboards created using high-tech composite materials developed in the corporation's scientific divisions.
We at Rosatom were inspired by retrofuturism for a reason. This whole style tells us that the future that our parents dreamed of with the magazine "Tekhnika Molodezhi" in their hands is already coming. All that remains for us is to capture it on symbolic artifacts of our time.
The composites used were originally created for aerospace and nuclear energy applications, which provides the products with exceptional performance characteristics: high specific stiffness, minimum weight, resistance to temperature extremes, increased wear resistance and, especially important for sports equipment, predictable and controlled elasticity.
The project marks not only a technological crossover between the nuclear industry and the sports industry, but also demonstrates the potential for civilian use of advanced materials traditionally used in highly loaded industries.
