Signal Snowboards founder Dave Lee is reportedly helping peer-to-peer bike rental site Spinlister.com on a new venture to promote peer-to-peer snowboard rentals and sharing called Spinlister.com/Snow.
“I love sharing, that’s what life is all about for me – experiences and adventures – this is the opportunity that Spinlister gives the rider,” said Signal Snowboards Founder Dave Lee. “Local knowledge and the board you want to ride can change travel plans for the better. It’s the perfect time for a service that allows you to meet like-minded people and share or rent snowboards anywhere in the world.”
Guess the big questions is, how many people want to go meet a stranger at on odd location just to save a few dollars on snowboard rentals. Not us. And it’s the same reason we don’t buy much on Craiglist: we fear the freaks. Follow the jump for the official word from Spinlister.

Signal Snowboards Founder to Help Market Peer-to-Peer Snowboard & Ski Rentals
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Nov. 19, 2013 – Spinlister, the world leader in peer-to-peer bicycle rentals, has partnered with Signal Snowboards Founder Dave Lee to raise awareness for its upcoming ski and snowboard rental launches.

“Dave Lee is a well respected veteran of the snowboarding community and someone that we know can help us make important introductions,” said Spinlister CEO Marcelo Loureiro.”We also believe in Dave’s vision for creating value in the snowboard community and not trying to get the most profit possible from your fans.”
Signal Snowboards will help publicize the benefits of Spinlister to its social media community of over 100,000 enthusiasts. They will leverage its professional team, social media channels, website and distribution network to help sign people up for Spinlister.

Traveling with or renting a snowboard, skis or a bike a shop can be a costly adventure with inadequate equipment. By using the peer-to-peer model, users can typically expect to rent a better quality board at a much lower price. Another added benefit is that renters can show users the best ski runs in the area so that they can experience it like a local.
Users can currently list their Snowboards and Skis for rentals, at no charge, on http://www.Spinlister.com or through its iOS and Android App. Users can currently list their skis and snowboards at http://www.spinlister.com/snow and Spinlister will be launching rental availability in the next few months.
