Doubledeck Snowboards Patented Dual Deck Design Delivers A Revolution in Snowboarding
We believe snowboarding should be more fun and more accessible, and that’s exactly what this board delivers.”— Founder and CEO Andreas KramerNüRNBERG, GERMANY, June 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Doubledeck Snowboards, a revolutionary new innovation in snowboards changing the way riders conquer the slopes, is now live on the global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and raising funds to bring the project to life.
Traditional snowboards can limit progression and feel unstable in variable terrain, especially for beginners. Doubledeck Snowboards presents a completely new and patented snowboard technology – a construction so unique, it fundamentally changes how a snowboard reacts, carves, and feels. The result is a new kind of snowboarding experience that makes riding easier, smoother and more playful than ever before.
“The idea for Doubledeck started with a simple but powerful question: why should snowboards ride the way they always have? As passionate riders, we wanted more control and more flow, without having to compromise. We were inspired by the challenges we saw on the mountain—especially for beginners and intermediate riders struggling with edge catching or stiff boards that limit progression,” says founder and CEO Andreas Kramer on the inspiration behind the project. “We set out to build something that actively helps you ride better, from your very first turn. That’s what led to developing a new kind of snowboard that feels intuitive, forgiving, and dynamic all at once.”
Key features of Doubledeck Snowboards include:
• Two-Part Design: The patented system consists of a motherboard (the base) with a floating arch construction on top (the so-called Bridging Bow); working together to improve handling and reduce chatter.
• Shock-Absorbing Suspension: The Bridging Bow absorbs shocks and smoothes out errors. Less catching edges, more flow – especially for beginners.
• Effortless Turns & Edge Hold: Utilizing a Convex Pressure System (CPS), the board almost turns by itself. It responds intuitively to the body, not against it.
• For All Skill Levels: Designed to help beginners feel stable and confident while giving advanced riders a new platform for carving, jumping, and freeriding.
• Eco-Friendly Construction: Built using responsibly sourced materials and sustainable practices.
Doubledeck Snowboards are proudly made in Austria at one of the world's top snowboard manufacturing facilities, with decades of expertise dating back to the 1980s. Each board is crafted using the highest-quality materials available in the industry.
“For years, innovation in snowboards has mostly meant fine-tuning existing concepts. We wanted to take things further by rethinking the entire riding experience. Doubledeck is a response to that—it's a different system designed to improve comfort, control, and rideability for everyone, no matter their level,” adds Kramer. “It makes turning easier, reduces strain on your joints, and gives riders a smoother, more confident feel on the snow. We believe snowboarding should be more fun and more accessible, and that’s exactly what this board delivers.”
Experience the first revolution in snowboarding in years. Doubledeck Snowboards is currently live and available to support on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/doubledecksnowboards/doubledeck-snowboards

Rozszerzenie UE wśród priorytetów duńskiej prezydencji. Akcesja nowych państw może mieć znaczenie dla bezpieczeństwa i gospodarki
Wraz z czerwcem kończy się druga polska prezydencja w Radzie Unii Europejskiej. W ciągu sześciu miesięcy instytucja ta pod przewodnictwem Polski podejmowała działania na rzecz bezpieczeństwa, w wielu wymiarach: zewnętrznym, wewnętrznym, informacyjnym, ekonomicznym, energetycznym, żywnościowym i zdrowotnym. Przede wszystkim doprowadziła do przełomowego wzrostu wydatków UE na obronność. Od 1 lipca pałeczkę przejmują Duńczycy, którzy zwrócą uwagę m.in. na obronę Bałtyku.
Bezpieczeństwo stało się w UE tematem numer jeden. Miała w tym udział polska prezydencja
Nie brakuje przeciwników zwiększenia wydatków na obronność do 5 proc. Obawiają się, że paradoksalnie zagrozi to bezpieczeństwu Europy
Trwają dyskusje nad kształtem unijnego budżetu na lata 2028–2034. Mogą być rozbieżności w kwestii Funduszu Spójności czy dopłat dla rolników
Wiceprzewodniczący PE: Polska prezydencja zapewniła UE stabilność w niepewnych czasach. Wiele inicjatyw dotyczyło obronności
W lipcu ma być gotowy projekt wspólnej polityki rolnej po 2027 roku. Rolnicy obawiają się niekorzystnych zmian w finansowaniu
Transport
Ruszyła ważna inwestycja przemysłowa w województwie opolskim. Powstanie tu centrum logistyczne dla giganta motoryzacyjnego
Nowe regionalne Centrum Kompletacji i Dystrybucji, które powstanie w parku logistycznym i produkcyjnym Prologis Park Ujazd w województwie opolskim, będzie związane z rynkiem automotive aftermarket, konkretnie kompletacją i dystrybucją zestawów naprawczych dla branży motoryzacyjnej. Obiekt będzie służył firmie Schaeffler, a za jej budowę odpowiada Prologis. Jak podkreśla jego przedstawiciel, będzie to budynek niezależny od paliw kopalnych bezpośrednio dostarczanych do budynku i wyposażony w wiele rozwiązań prośrodowiskowych.
Konsument
Konsumenci rynku telekomunikacyjnego narzekają na nieprzejrzyste oferty. Jeden z operatorów chce je wyeliminować
Co piąty Polak dostrzega pozytywne zmiany na rynku usług telekomunikacyjnych, głównie jego rozwój, zarówno pod kątem liczby ofert, jak i rozwoju technologii. Gorzej jednak wypada przejrzystość ofert – wynika z badania Urzędu Komunikacji Elektronicznej. Konsumenci są zmęczeni skomplikowanymi taryfami i ukrytymi kosztami, dlatego coraz większym zainteresowaniem cieszą się proste pakiety. Dlatego też T-Mobile startuje z nową ofertą „Po prostu", z jednym, prostym abonamentem bez żadnych limitów.
