Abstract: A board for gliding over snow, more particularly for children, includes a structure made of just one homogeneous material of an injected thermoplastic polymer, two metal side edges with wings, bordering the bottom surface forming the gliding surface. The structure includes a top surface and a bottom surface forming a gliding surface, and defines a hollow volume. The wings of the metal side edges are embedded in the homogeneous material of an injected thermoplastic polymer material of the structure.

Abstract: A short ski (1) having a length LT of less than 110 cm, in particular for skiing by children, having a reduced-thickness region (3) in its central zone (2), which is bounded at the front and the rear by maximum-thickness regions (4, 5) each capable of holding the elements (6, 7) of a safety binding, said ski having an overall flexibility (SG), that is to say a flexure under deformation by a force F of 20 decanewtons applied to the upper surface of the ski midway between the two supporting points respectively lying level with the front contact line (LCFR) and rear contact line (LCRE), which is between: L p 3 H max 2 × 10 - 5 ? ? and ? ?
