A snowboard binding using for a snowboard is provided. The snowboard binding includes a baseplate, a boot supporter surrounding the baseplate, an interlocking assembly, and a stopper disposed on the interlocking assembly. The boot supporter includes a first side, a second side, and a rear side. The interlocking assembly is disposed at the first side of the boot supporter. A mutual positional relationship between the interlocking assembly and the snowboard presents an initial state. As snowboard boot touches the interlocking assembly to change the initial state while the snowboard boot is put in and fixed to the snowboard binding. Concurrently the interlocking assembly drives the stopper to rotate so that the stopper leaves or inserts into snowfield.

Provided is a snowboard binding in which a stopper function operates when a boot is removed and the stopper function is released when a boot is mounted, and a stopper device for a snowboard binding. The snowboard binding is provided with an urging body for rotatably urging a highback rearward, and configured so that when a lock lever of a lock mechanism is placed in an unlocked state by the rotational urging of the urging body, the highback automatically rotates rearward, and configured so that when the highback arrives at the rearward-rotation-limit position or near the rearward-rotation-limit position, a connecting cord of the lock mechanism is tensioned, the orientation in which the lock lever projects from the highback rear surface section is maintained, and the lock lever in this projecting orientation makes contact with the snow surface below a snowboard to bring about a slide-preventing effect.

Provided is a snowboard binding in which a stopper function operates when a boot is removed and the stopper function is released when a boot is mounted, and a stopper device for a snowboard binding that can be attached to and used in a binding of a type exemplified in Patent Document 1. A snowboard binding configured so as to be provided with an urging body (9) for rotatably urging a highback (4) rearward, and configured so that when a lock lever (7) of a lock mechanism (6) is placed in an unlocked state by the rotational urging of the urging body (9), the highback (4) automatically rotates rearward, and configured so that when the highback (4) arrives at the rearward-rotation-limit position or near the rearward-rotation-limit position, a connecting cord (8) of the lock mechanism (6) is tensioned, the orientation in which the lock lever (7) projects from the highback (4) rear surface section is maintained, and the lock lever (7) in this projecting orientation makes contact with the snow surface (S) below a snowboard (1) to bring about a slide-preventing effect.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods relating to a snowboard that includes a raised edge rail and one or more pockets where the sidecut meets the nose and/or tail of the snowboard; and to a snowboard that includes a braking system. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a snowboard that includes one or more sensors, including position sensors, distance sensors, accelerometers, or other sensors, that may detect information related to the snowboard motion and/or position. Sensor data may be utilized, in some aspects, to signal a braking system to engage under certain conditions.

An apparatus for supporting a board is disclosed. The apparatus includes a support device including a support bar extending beyond the board toward the ground when deployed to provide support to the board.
