Abstract: The surface traversing apparatus includes a main body having a shovel that curves upwardly at the front thereof. A rider is releasably secured to the top surface of the surface traversing apparatus by a binding that holds the rider's boots. The surface traversing apparatus further includes a diffuser, which defines a stepped running surface, positioned on the bottom rear portion of the apparatus. The diffuser operates to reduce both parasitic drag and form drag while providing increased directional stability when the surface traversing apparatus runs flat against the snow.

Abstract: A double-edged snowboard (10) is disclosed. The snowboard includes a middle portion with a core, a tail (14) at the rear end of the middle portion, a shovel (12) at the front end of the middle portion, and a base (18) along the bottom of the middle, tail, and shovel portions of the snowboard. The base includes a central running surface (24), two outer running surfaces (26 and 28), first and second outer edges (34 and 36), first and second forward, curved, inner edges (30A and 32A), and first and second rearward, linear, inner edges (30B and 32B). The central running surface is lower in elevation than the outer running surfaces. The first and second outer edges surround a portion of the perimeter of the first and second outer running surfaces, respectively. The first and second inner edges are disposed between the central running surface and the first and second outer running surfaces, respectively. The inner and outer edges are generally symmetric about the longitudinal axis of the snowboard.
