Abstract: A snowboard binding (1) including a base plate (2) and a structure (3) for fastening a snowboard boot. The snowboard binding is provided with at least one load introducing structure(7, 8). The angle, arrangement, and direction of the at least one load introducing structure, in relation to the base plate, is adjustable in an essentially independent manner. The at least one load introducing structure (7, 8) transfers forces between a snowboard boot and a snowboard.

Abstract: A spacer for a snowboard that is compatible with several bindings and snowboards, and that absorbs and dampens shocks and vibrations as they occur while riding a snowboard. The spacer provides a simplified mounting mechanism to connect different bindings with a snowboard without negative loads and forces influencing the snowboard. The spacer has at least one central part and at least one lateral part, which includes a dual density material construction for shock absorption and dampening. The central part has a fixing device to provide a direct or indirect mechanical connection between a binding and a snowboard. The fixing device is preferably connectable with different binding types available on the market. The at least one lateral part is preferably affixed to the central part and serves to transfer load between one of a tip or a heel of a snowboard boot and a snowboard.

Abstract: A spacer for snowboards which, in the region between the snowboard boot (22) and the snowboard (20), in addition to the snowboard binding (21), provides a non-positive connection between the snowboard boot (22) and the snowboard (20) and contributes to enlarging of the bearing surface(s) (4.1, 4.2).
