Lazboard or petranboard[1] is a tool used for skiing on snow in Petran Plateau of İkizdere district of Rize in Turkey.
According to a research, villagers from Petran are the oldest group who are actively using a tool similar to snowboard.
The pine tree is soaked in boiling water in the cooker until it reaches the desired flexibility.
Finally, beef tallow is spread to the bottom of the board to reduce friction.
