Abstract
A theft deterrent security device for a snowboard, the security device is mounted on the base portion of the snowboard binding so as to cover the screws that pass through a rotator plate which attach the binding to the board. Not being able to easily remove the rotator plate on the board, the security device acts as a deterrent to someone wanting to steal the board. The security device consists of a security cover having a recess portion to receive a lock structure. This lock structure locks the security cover to the binding and prevents access to the screws on the rotator plate.
