The Work
of Capozzi and Connolly
The first design was made out of two-inch PVC pipe, a camp chair, and glue. It wasn’t stable. When Capozzi and Connelly tested it on the slopes, it often fell over.
The next prototype, made of aluminum, included a mechanism that swiveled and raised the snowboard seat to allow the rider to catch a chair lift.
The third version (called the S3-short for
Seated Snowboard System), made out of molded carbon
fiber, is stronger and lighter than the earlier
prototypes. This design was patented in 2001.
