Abstract:
1. A ski or snowboard comprising several layers disposed between a running surface lining and a top layer contoured to form at least two raised areas extending in a longitudinal direction and defining a recess therebetween, including a top belt of a high-tensile material laying closest to the top layer and a bottom belt of a high-tensile material laying closest to the running surface lining, the layers forming a multi-layer element with a profiled section disposed between the top belt and the bottom belt below each one of the raised areas; the outer surface of the profiled section being embedded in, and completely surrounded by, a layer of an elastic expanded synthetic material that is flexible and elastically resilient relative to the profiled section under pressure; a top face of the ski or snowboard opposite the running surface lining having a contour consisting of the raised areas and recess, the cross-sectional shape or dimension of the profiled sections at least approximately conforming to the raised areas and recess of the top face contour, and the cross-sectional shape or dimension being a factor determining the top face contour.
