Abstract: A snowboard has two bindings for two boots (21) with the bindings being arranged at a substantial angle to the longitudinal axis (45). Each binding includes a board plate (17) secured to the board (11) and a boot plate (21) whic=h is fixedly connectable to the boot (31). Both plates (17, 21) are drawn into firm contact with one another by resilient tensioning devices (24, 25, 26, 27) which are substantially centrally arranged in the front and the rear regions. The resilience of the resilient tensioning devices is so dimensioned that with excessive loadings of the legs of the user the boot plate (21) can turn relative to the board plate (17) to the side, to the front and to the rear and also about a vertical axis (33).
