Title:
SNOWBOARD BODY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999025433
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A snowboard is disclosed whose base is designed such that under normal loading, applied through the rider's feet to the snowboard, the snowboard will bow into a substantially circular arc. Consequently, the portions of the snowboard coming in contact with the surface of the snow will substantially lie on segments of a circular arc, and the back half of the snowboard will substantially follow in the track of the front half of the snowboard. This is accomplished by applying beam-design principles to the design of the snowboard in order to select appropriate geometry of the transverse cross-sections of the snowboard along its entire length.
