Gliding board with side reinforcing elements present over a portion of

Abstract

A board for gliding over snow is provided which is structured such that it has a central support region having a cross-section selected from the group consisting of the sandwich cross-section, the shell cross-section, and the hybrid cross section; a front region located between and connecting the central region and a tip; and a rear region located between and connecting the central region and a tail portion. The front region, central support region, and rear region each may have either a sandwich cross-section, a shell cross-section, and a hybrid cross section. The sandwich cross-section can have a first upper layer, a first upper reinforcement layer, a first core, a plurality of longitudinal reinforcing elements, a first lower reinforcement, a first sole, and a plurality of first edges. The shell cross-section may have a second upper layer, a second upper reinforcement layer, a second core, a plurality of second reinforcing elements inclined over the entire height of the sides of the board, a second lower reinforcement, a second sole, and a plurality of second edges. Alternatively, the shell cross-section could be constructed having a third upper layer in contact with a third upper reinforcement layer, the third upper layer and the third upper reinforcement layer extending downward over a third core until the third upper reinforcement layer contacts a third lower reinforcement which is in contact with a third sole having a plurality of third edges. The hybrid cross-section can have a shell half-structure comprising a fourth upper layer and a fourth upper reinforcement layer, a fourth core, a plurality of fourth longitudinal reinforcing elements, a fourth lower reinforcement, a fourth sole, and a plurality of fourth edges.
