Claim 11:
12. A splitboard joining device comprising:
a first attachment configured to attach to a first ski of a splitboard;
a second attachment configured to attach to a second ski of a splitboard;
wherein the first attachment and the second attachment are configured to comprise a first configuration where the first attachment and the second attachment are joined, thereby creating tension between the first attachment and the second attachment and compression between the first ski and the second ski;
wherein the first attachment and the second attachment are configured to comprise a second configuration where the first attachment and the second attachment are disengaged, thereby reducing tension between the first attachment and the second attachment and compression between the first ski and second ski allowing the first ski and second ski to be separated;
wherein the first attachment comprises a first element to prevent upward movement of the second ski relative to the first ski;
wherein the second attachment comprises a second element to prevent upward movement of the first ski relative to the second ski;
wherein at least either the first attachment or second attachment comprises a first tension element configured to move in a plane generally parallel to a top surface of the first and second ski to engage the first attachment and the second attachment in the first configuration;
wherein the first tension element is configured to be driven by a lever and a link, such that the lever is configured to move the link and the link is configured to move the first tension element;
wherein the lever is configured to rotate about a pivot;
wherein a first fastener is configured to constrain the pivot of the lever in a direction generally normal to the top surface of the first or second ski, the first fastener configured to attach the first attachment or second attachment to the first ski or second ski.
