Noboard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Noboard is a snowboard binding alternative.
[edit] History
The original snowboards, developed in the 1960s by Sherman Poppen and Dimitrie Milovich, had no fixed bindings, the riders stood on the board like a surfboard. When Jake Burton won a competition in the late seventies using bindings they rapidly became the norm.
In 1988 Greg Todds shed his bindings and began developing a 'stomp-pad' as an alternative. Cholo Burns helped Greg develop the prototypes and together they created a company and began production of the Noboard pad.
[edit] Product description
The Noboard is a peel and stick pad that can be applied directly to any snowboard deck. The pad is made of a special polymer rubber designed to shed snow and ice and provide maximum grip even in very cold environments. It is sold in a package with a leash and fastening hardware.
