Abstract: A snowboard tether device comprising a base unit and a movable part. The base unit is affixed to a snowboard, and the movable part is connected to the base unit by a retractable cable. The cable is wound around a cable spool located inside the base unit. The base unit comprises a retractor housing that houses a retractor spring that causes the cable to retract. The base unit comprises a receiving area with a magnet, and the movable part comprises a magnet that is attracted to the magnet on the receiving area of the base unit. When the tether device is in use, the magnet on the movable part is coupled to a pocket token.

Abstract: A pocket token for use with a snowboard tether device. The pocket token comprises a knob and a magnet that surrounds the knob. The knob of the pocket token is sized so as to fit within a well on an underside of a movable part of a snowboard tether device. The movable part of the snowboard tether device comprises a magnet that surrounds the well on the underside of the movable part. When the knob on the pocket token is inserted into the well on the underside of the movable part, the magnets of the movable part and pocket token are attracted to each other, thereby holding the pocket token in place against the underside of the movable part. In an alternate embodiment, the magnet of the pocket token is replaced with a metal ring. The pocket token optionally comprises a bottle opener.

Abstract: A snowboard tether device comprising a base and a dome. The base is affixed to a snowboard and comprises two finger grips, a thumb grip and a receiving area with a steel plate. The dome comprises a top part, a bottom part, a shaft, a spool with a cable and a spring, and an underside with one or more magnets. When the shaft is in a locked position, the toothed section of the shaft is engaged with both the tooth receiving area of the spool and the tooth receiving area of the bottom part of the dome. When the shaft is in an unlocked position, the toothed section of the shaft is engaged with the tooth receiving area of the bottom part of the dome but is not engaged with the tooth receiving area of the spool.
