ABSTRACT:
A snowboard that facilitates turn carving has an elongated body with first and second elevated bases mounted thereto, and an area of increased stiffness extending radially from the first and second bases toward the central axis of the body of the snowboard. V-shaped, diamond shaped or T-shaped drive members are mounted to the body or formed integrally therewith to increase the stiffness of the body in the area between the bases. The combination of the elevated bases and area of increased stiffness increases the flex area and the positive running edge of the snowboard. Additional stiffener fingers can be included to extend outwardly from the bases toward the nose and tail ends to provide shock absorption and vibration dampening.
