Abstract
The invention relates to an end piece (') for the front or rear end of a ski () or snowboard, which end piece (′) has at least a first and a second portion (). A distance (′) between mutually adjacent zones () of the first and second portion () or a width or length measurement of at least one of the zones () can be varied. Alternatively, the first and second portion () are connected to one another in the mutually adjacent zones () by means of an articulated joint and/or an elastically stretchable and rebounding bridging element and/or an elastically deformable middle portion () and the zones of the first and second portion () remote from the mutually adjacent zones () can be respectively connected to oppositely lying side edges of a ski () or snowboard by articulated joints and/or with an interconnected elastic deformation zone. This positively influences the performance of a ski () or snowboard with a variable geometry or size.
