A snow sliding device include a core, a plurality of securing elements including a base with a sliding surface, a top surface, and at least a sidewall, and one or more constituents, wherein at least a constituent of the one or more constituents transitions between a first composition at a first position and a second composition at a second position, wherein the first composition includes a first proportion of a non-Newtonian material mixed with a second proportion of Newtonian material, the second composition includes a third proportion of the non-Newtonian material mixed with a fourth proportion of Newtonian material, and the first proportion is different from the third proportion.

A sports board incorporating reclaimed/reused sports board materials, and a method of making a such a sports board, allows for incorporation of portions of used (recycled) composite sports boards (or waste from the manufacture thereof) into new sports boards. This lessens the accumulation of composite sports board waste in the global environment, reduces the quantity of new virgin materials needed in the manufacture of new composite sports boards, and lessens the environmental impact of composite sports board manufacture and use. Optionally, the reclaimed sports board material may be incorporated into a new sports board in a manner providing structural enhancements (e.g., increased regional stiffness) to new sports boards. This may allow for structural enhancement while avoiding a significant increase in sports board weight, by incorporating used composite materials into new composite sports boards.

A skiing equipment (1) is provided, comprising a ski (2) defining a longitudinal direction (2a) and two ends (2b, 2c) and including at least an upper layer (21), a lower layer (22) mutually coupled, and a groove (25) passing through the upper and lower layers (21, 22) between the ends (2b, 2c) and delimited by at least two transverse edges (25a) extending transversely to the longitudinal direction (2a) and two lateral edges (25b) extending parallel to the longitudinal direction (2a); wherein each of the lateral edges (25b) includes a first insert (26) extending parallel to the longitudinal direction (2a) and including a material that is more rigid than the rest of the lateral edge (25b).

A system for adjusting physical properties of a ski or snowboard, through use of one or more specially shaped components applied upon or embedded within the ski or snowboard, wherein the components may be comprised of a thermally responsive material that includes nitinol, and wherein the nitinol components may themselves be treated using a specific method in order to achieve desired transformation results that adjust stiffness, rocker, and in some cases camber angle of a ski.

A snow riding implement includes a top face, a bottom face, a tail portion, a tip portion, and a midportion. A core of a first material extends from the tail portion to the tip portion. A sidewall extends between the top face and the bottom face and is formed from a second material different than the first material. The sidewall has a first side portion, a second portion and a third portion. The first side portion extends along the midportion at a first angle oblique to the bottom face, wherein the first side undercuts core. The second side portion extends along the tail portion at a second angle, different than the first angle, relative to the bottom face. The third side portion extends along the tip portion at a third angle different than the first angle relative to the bottom face.

A snow and water sport sliding device with a pneumatic core and method of manufacturing the device. The device includes a top layer comprising a front tip, a middle segment with a binding plate, and a back segment with an adjustable air valve. Top layer may also include a blade spring system. The device also includes a main core component layer under the top layer that comprises of a hollow air chamber, and a base layer. Base layer may include embedded metal edge.
