A snowboard binding includes a baseplate configured to secure to an upper surface of a snowboard a high back and straps secure to the baseplate. A drive plate is secured to the upper surface of the baseplate and has a stiffness effective to change ride properties of the snowboard. The drive plate may include a laminate structure including one or more composite layers such as fiberglass, carbon fiber, aluminum, or titanium. A carriage may mount the drive plate to the snowboard and may define a recess for receiving the drive plate. Tabs may extend from the lower surface of the carriage and engage corresponding apertures in the baseplate. The tabs may have hooked end portions to secure the carriage to the baseplate.
