Disclosed herein is a snowboard deck. The snowboard deck includes a board-shaped deck body on which both boots worn by a snowboard user desiring to enjoy riding in a snowfield are positioned and fixed; a binder hole formed in a hole shape in the deck body and provided with a magnet to fasten and fix the boots worn by the snowboard user with a magnetic force; and the boots provided with metal protrusions connected through the magnetic force from the magnet inserted and fastened into the binder hole.

A portable snowboard with detachable parts comprises a first planar section and a second planar section. The first planar section comprises a first member of an interconnecting joint. A second end of the first planar section comprises the first member of the interconnecting joint. The second planar section comprises a second member of the interconnecting joint. The second end of the second planar section comprises a second member of the interconnecting joint. The first member of the interconnecting joint is detachably fastened to the second member of the interconnecting joint to engage the first planar section with the second planar section to form the portable snowboard.

A portable snowboard with detachable parts includes a first planar section with a first member of an interconnecting joint, and a second planar section with a second member of the interconnecting joint. The first member of the interconnecting joint is detachably fastened to the second member of the interconnecting joint to engage the first planar section with the second planar section to form the portable snowboard. An anti-folding member, detachably attached between the first planar section and the second planar section, is coplanar in construction with the first planar section and the second planar section to prevent a relative folding between the first planar section and the second planar section. Multiple communication accessories are positioned on predefined sections of the first planar section and the second planar section for recording and transmitting information regarding a snowboarding session using the portable snowboard to a base station and/or a user device.

A release mechanism is provided for releasably connecting a strap to sports equipment. The strap is secured at a first end to the sports equipment and at a second end to the release mechanism. The release mechanism has a fastening part releasably connected to an engagement element. The engagement element interacts with a fastening part bail element that is pivotable about a pivot axle between a release position and an engaged position with the engagement element. The bail element can be secured in the engaged position by a securing element. The securing element and bail element are secured to the fastening part such that the distance between the pivot axle of the bail element and the securing element changes when a tensile load is applied to the bail element. The securing element releases the bail element when a defined release tensile force is exerted on the bail element.

A snowboard binding including a highback and a plurality of straps. The highback forms an inward curve to define a cavity for a boot. A plurality of straps secure the boot in the cavity, the straps including a toe strap and an ankle strap. At least one of the highback, the toe strap, or the ankle strap have a section with an auxetic pattern.

A highback for a snowboard binding, and method of creating same, includes a lower portion configured to couple the highback to a baseplate of the snowboard binding such that a proximal end of the first portion is proximate the baseplate. An upper portion having a first section and second section is formed from a uniform material. The first section is anchored within the lower portion and the second section extends from a distal end of the lower portion away from the proximal end.

A snowboard binding including a highback and a plurality of straps. The highback forms an inward curve to define a cavity for a boot. A plurality of straps secure the boot in the cavity, the straps including a toe strap and an ankle strap. At least one of the highback, the toe strap, or the ankle strap have a section with an auxetic pattern.

A snowboard hook including a flat bottom component, to be secured to a top surface of a snowboard, and a curved top component, wherein a bottom edge of the curved top component is orthogonally coupled to a first edge of the flat bottom component. The curved top component includes: a vertical portion, including the bottom edge of the curved top component; and a horizontal portion, wherein the horizontal portion protrudes in a curved manner from the vertical portion to an approximately horizontal position near a top edge of the curved top component.

A release mechanism is provided for releasably connecting a strap to sports equipment. The strap is secured at a first end to the sports equipment and at a second end to the release mechanism. The release mechanism has a fastening part releasably connected to an engagement element. The engagement element interacts with a fastening part bail element that is pivotable about a pivot axle between a release position and an engaged position with the engagement element. The bail element can be secured in the engaged position by a securing element. The securing element and bail element are secured to the fastening part such that the distance between the pivot axle of the bail element and the securing element changes when a tensile load is applied to the bail element. The securing element releases the bail element when a defined release tensile force is exerted on the bail element.

A bindingless snowboard including: a deck having a platform, the platform includes a first deck side edge, a second deck side edge, an upper deck surface and a lower deck surface; a first extension secured to and extending from the first deck side edge; a second extension secured to and extending from the second deck side edge; a base having a first base side edge and a second base side edge, the base secured to the lower deck surface; a first carving edge secured to the first deck edge; a second carving edge secure to the second deck edge; a first sidewall spacer secured between the first extension and the first edge and positioned adjacent to the first deck side edge; and, a second sidewall spacer secured between the second extension and the second edge and positioned adjacent to the second deck side edge, wherein at least a portion of a first force applied to the first extension is transmitted to the first carving edge through the first sidewall spacer and at least a portion of a second force applied to the second extension is transmitted to the second carving edge through the second sidewall spacer.
