Abstract: A snowboard has a pair of bindings for a person's footwear. Each binding includes a laterally spaced apart independently moveable pair of binding straps and latches that can be engaged in latched positions over the vamp of the footwear for binding the footwear to the snowboard. On each binding, a release strap is connected between the two latches, so that by pulling on the release strap in a direction away from the snowboard's upper surface, forces are applied to actuation members of both latches so as to release both binding straps from their latched positions.
