Abstract
A rotatable binding interface for a snowboard for facilitating usage of the snowboard in at least two different orientations is disclosed herein. The rotatable binding interface includes a fixed assembly that is coupled to a snowboard body. A rotatable assembly is coupled to the fixed assembly, wherein the rotatable assembly is configured to allow fitment of a binding thereon, wherein a user may rotate the rotatable assembly using a foot placed in the binding by applying a twisting motion drive to the rotatable assembly. The rotatable assembly is configured to be locked in at least two different orientations for the user.
