Abstract
A surfboard for surfing on snow has an hourglass profile including dimension lines curved inwardly in the runner zone, and wherein bindings each form an angle with a line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the surfboard. Both dimension lines are offset longitudinally with respect to each other and are positioned so that the most curved point of each dimension line is located on the axis of symmetry of the axes passing through the two bindings.
Claims6
A snow surfboard comprising:
- a planar upper surface, a lower surface, a front portion, a tail portion, and a runner zone between said front portion and said tail portion, said snow surfboard having an hourglass profile with a central longitudinal axis and longitudinally extending sidewalls forming dimension lines which are curved inwardly into the runner zone, the bottom of each of said sidewalls forming an outside edge with said lower surface;
- a pair of bindings attached to said upper surface and being longitudinally spaced along said central longitudinal axis, each of said bindings having a longitudinal axis which extends at an angle from a point of intersection of said longitudinal axis with said central longitudinal axis such that a forward potion of each binding is located forwardly of a line extending perpendicular to said central longitudinal axis at said point of intersection;
- wherein said dimension lines of said sidewalls are offset longitudinally with respect to each other and are positioned such that an innermost curved point of each said dimension line is located on an axis which extends between the longitudinal axes of said bindings and is parallel thereto.
