I own the pack there is no actual carry system but you can put it through the straps between you back and the pack. I would highly recommend through a t shirt or towel around the edges so they don't rub on your jacket and so you have some additional padding.

BD's site says it has a horizontal snowboard carry system. I've seen the pack in person, and it is a pretty minimalist pack. Unlike other packs where you can strap the snowboard vertically to the outside of the pack, BD does something different. Basically, their way of horizontally carrying a snowboard in this pack is to put the board, bindings out, base facing your back, in between the arms against the part of the bag that would normally rest against your back. The pack is pretty narrow so it will fit in between your bindings. It isn't the most comfortable or ideal way of carrying a board, but on a small, minimalist pack like this one, it is actually very effective.
