A gliding board, comprising:
- a rider adjustable fastener comprising a plurality of equally spaced apart interlocking surfaces;
- and
- a plurality of equally spaced apart indicia on the board corresponding to said interlocking surfaces.
A gliding board, comprising:
- a rider adjustable fastener, comprising a channel having a plurality equally spaced apart surfaces and a fastening element having a plurality of equally spaced apart surfaces engaging with the plurality of surfaces of said channel, wherein said fastening element slides longitudinally in the channel;
- and
- a plurality of equally spaced apart hash marks corresponding so said plurality of equally spaced apart surfaces;
- and
- at least one indicium corresponding to at least one of said hash marks.
A location system for a gliding board, comprising:
- a plurality of indicia, wherein said indicia are equally spaced apart on the board in length increments.
A gliding board, comprising:
- a label comprising a plurality of hash marks and at least an indicium corresponding to said hash marks, wherein said label comprises a reference point;
- a rider adjustable clamp, comprising at least one retaining element and a plurality of interlocking surfaces, wherein said clamp comprises a reference point,
- wherein said hash marks correspond to said interlocking surfaces.
A rider adjustable fastener, comprising:
- a plurality of complementary, interlocking surfaces,
- wherein said surfaces are disengagable, and wherein said surfaces are at least about 0.2 mm deep.
A rider adjustable fastener, comprising:
- a first fastening element having a plurality of engageable surfaces;
- a second element having a plurality of complementary engageable surfaces;
- wherein said engageable surfaces interlock with said complementary engageable surfaces and wherein said engageable surfaces and complementary engageable surfaces are at least about 0.2 mm deep.
A gliding board comprising:
- a rider adjustable fastener comprising a plurality of complementary, interlocking surfaces, wherein said surfaces are at least about 0.2 mm deep.
A method of adjusting a rider's stance width on a gliding board, comprising:
- providing a first plurality of indicia and a second plurality of indicia corresponding to a stance width for a board;
- adjusting said stance width by measuring distance with said first plurality of indicia;
- adjusting said stance width by measuring distance with said second plurality of indicia.
A method of mounting a rider to a gliding board, comprising:
- providing a first plurality of indicia and a second plurality of indicia corresponding to a stance width for a board;
- clamping a rider to a board;
- locating an initial stance width using said indicia;
- unclamping said rider;
- adjusting said stance width by measuring distance with said first and second pluralities of indicia;
- and
- clamping said rider to the board.
A method of mounting a rider to a gliding board, comprising:
- clamping a rider to a board by engaging a plurality of interlocking surfaces;
- locating an initial stance width;
- unclamping said rider by releasing the engagement of said interlocking surfaces;
- adjusting said stance width by measuring said stance width with a plurality of indicia located on the board;
- and
- clamping said rider to the board.
A method of mounting a rider to a gliding board, comprising:
- measuring a stance width using a plurality of equally spaced apart indicia on the board;
- and
- adjusting a stance width of the rider by sliding a rider adjustable fastener.
