| 1996 | Invention patented by Alain Zanco on May 5th, 1996. Abstract: A board for sliding over snow, or snow board, incorporating a non-plane synthetic top layer with elevated central part. The snow board is provided with lateral reinforcing members whose height is less than that of the board. The reinforcing members receive the multiple feet of a rigid platform in the form of a low table and intended to receive the bindings. At those spots, the lateral edge elements preferably present wider portions. Corresponding recesses are made in the shell, each adapted to receive a conjugate foot of the platform. The feet of the platform are preferably high enough for the platform to rest on the edge elements of the snow board only by its feet. |
