A binding for a boot on a gliding board adapted to be used during a sporting activity involving gliding phases, the binding making it possible to attach the boot of a user in a first longitudinal position in relation to the gliding board. The binding includes a plate having at least one slide; a base adapted to be attached to the gliding board; at least one rail fixed to the base and cooperating with the slide, the plate being movable in translation along the rail and in both directions, in relation to the base between a maximum advance position in which the plate is in support against a first stop, and a maximum retraction position in which the plate is in support against a second stop; a damping mechanism damping the translational movement of the plate in both directions, in relation to the base, and which positions the plate by default in a central position in which the plate is located, along the rail, between the maximum advance position and the maximum retraction position.

Binding for a boot on a gliding board and a gliding board equipped with such binding

Ski adapted to receive a skier's boot, the ski having a front tip, a rear end, front and rear contact lines, and a central zone between the front tip and the rear end. The distance separating the forward contact line and the ski tip is greater than or about 500 mm. The shovel, located between the front tip and the forward contact line has a convex zone which includes a first shovel portion having a lateral profile extending between an arc of circle with a 9-meter radius and an arc of circle with a 5-meter radius; a second shovel portion contiguous with the first shovel portion and having a lateral profile extending between an arc of circle with a 9-meter radius and an arc of circle with a 1-meter radius; a third shovel portion contiguous to the second shovel portion and extending to the front tip of the ski.

Gliding board that includes an upper sub-assembly, a lower sub-assembly, and an intermediate core, the upper sub-assembly including a first longitudinal opening, the lower sub-assembly including a second longitudinal opening, and the intermediate core including a third longitudinal opening, each of the first, second, and third longitudinal openings being positioned at the rear end of the gliding board, the gliding board further including a rigidifying element that is inserted simultaneously in the first, second, and third longitudinal openings. The rigidifying element can have a planar, bulging, or convex lower surface.
