Do those guys use real snowboards when the jump out of planes? Or is it some sort of thing that looks like a snowboard. Seems to me you'd want some way to release it just before you landed, unless you were landing on snow.

they use special boards that are not quite as nice as snowboards... their boards are streachy and their feet are in cups. their feet will fall out if they dont keep pressure pulling them apart

i'm pretty sure you have to be a very experienced skydiver to go skyboarding and that suit he is wearing i think is a wingman or bird suit (the local skydive place has it here) , which i believe also requires a lot of experience.
