ABSTRACT:
An improved snowboard (10) having a convex bottom (44) with a flat area (28) formed therein to extend from the tail (16) to at least the nose (18) to facilitate balancing of the snowboard (10) and improve performance when cornering. An improved snowboard (23) illustrates the convex bottom (36) smoothly tapering into the body 34 at the longitudinal midpoint (50) to form a flat bottom (52) that then extends to the tip (44). To provide additional control and stability, a keel (56) extends from the flat bottom (52) a distance no further than the convex bottom (36) and having a width between 2% and 4% of the width of the body (34).
