About The Board Hjólabretti
The Board er samanbrjótanlegt hjólabretti hannað fyrir auðveldan flutning og geymslu. Brettið er gert úr 57 samtengdum snúningslömum. Með því að brjóta lamirnar saman í aðra hvora áttina umbreytist klassíska cruiser-lögunin í fullkominn hring. Í hringlaga forminu passar The Board í bakpoka og má geyma það í þröngum rýmum eða hafa til sýnis sem skrautmun heima. Ál, járn og plast eru notuð í smíðina. Umbreytingarferlið gefur hönnuninni skýrt sjónrænt aðdráttarafl.
