Presentation drawing for accessible snowboard, 1996
Matt Capozzi and Nathan Connolly, Hampshire, Massachusetts

In 1996, college students Matt Capozzi and Nathan Connolly began designing an accessible snowboard to share their love of the sport with disabled athletes. The seating assembly, an elevated platform above the board itself, allows a person with a lower body disability to snowboard with minimal assistance.
