Abstract
A slider has a board that has a bottom surface, a top surface, a front edge, a rear edge and two side edges. A single recessed longitudinal channel is provided in the bottom surface and extends continuously from the front edge to the rear edge in a manner that divides the bottom surface into two separate longitudinal sections on either side of the channel. The channel is defined by two opposing curved longitudinal surfaces that configure the channel in a manner where the channel is wider at the front edge and the rear edge than at the center of the channel
Claims15
A slider, comprising:
- a board that has a bottom surface, a top surface, a front edge, a rear edge and two side edges;
- and
- a single recessed longitudinal channel provided in the bottom surface and extending continuously from the front edge to the rear edge in a manner that divides the bottom surface into two separate longitudinal sections on either side of the channel, the channel defined by two opposing curved longitudinal surfaces that configure the channel in a manner where the channel is wider at the front edge and the rear edge than at the center of the channel.
A slider, comprising:
- a board that has a bottom surface, a top surface, a front edge, a rear edge and two side edges;
- and
- a single recessed longitudinal channel provided in the bottom surface and extending continuously from the front edge to the rear edge in a manner that divides the bottom surface into two separate longitudinal sections on either side of the channel, the channel defined by two opposing curved longitudinal surfaces that configure the channel in a manner where the channel is wider at the front edge and the rear edge than at the center of the channel, wherein:
- the two opposing curved longitudinal surfaces are angled;
- the width of the channel is about one-third the width of the board;
- and
- the depth of the channel is uniform throughout, and is about 10% to 30% of the thickness of the board.
A method of controlling a slider on snow or water, comprising the steps of:
- a. providing a slider having:
- a board that has a bottom surface, a top surface, a front edge, a rear edge and two side edges;
- and
- a single recessed longitudinal channel provided in the bottom surface and extending continuously from the front edge to the rear edge in a manner that divides the bottom surface into two separate longitudinal sections on either side of the channel, the channel defined by two opposing curved longitudinal surfaces that configure the channel in a manner where the channel is wider at the front edge and the rear edge than at the center of the channel;
- b. directing snow or water to enter the channel from the front edge;
- and
- c. causing snow or water to exit the channel from the rear edge.
