New generation snowboard

Hi!

I went to france this winter to do some snowboarding, and I saw a new type of snowboard that I had never seen before. Both the nose and the bottom of the snowboard had pointed sides. I asked the manager what kind of snowboard it was, and he told me it was for going off-pist.

I was thinking about introducing this a little more to the swedish/european market (I am from Sweden myself). That's why I'm writing here, because there is no better place to ask people about snowboards than in a snowboard community.

Here is a sketch I made of the snowboard:

Has anyone here ever seen this kind of snowboard before, or perhaps even used it? Is it any good?

Do you believe there is a market for introducing it? Do you think people would buy it?

Do you think this would work well as a board for off-pist? Please tell me your thoughts!

Thank you
