Patent ID: 7275755

Claim:
A gliding or rolling board comprising: a length measured along a longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end of the board, a width measured along a transverse direction between a first edge and a second edge, and a height measured between a gliding surface and a receiving surface; along said height, the board includes a first reinforcement, a second reinforcement, and a first core positioned between said first reinforcement and said second reinforcement; along said length, between the first end and the second end, the board includes a first end zone, a first transversely extending contact line, a central zone, a second transversely extending contact line, and a second end zone; the board having a sandwich structure extending at least from the first contact line to the second contact line, said sandwich structure including the first reinforcement, the first core, and the second reinforcement, whereby said sandwich structure further comprises the second reinforcement extending widthwise substantially parallel to the first reinforcement in transverse cross section from a first edge of the second reinforcement above the shock-absorbing material of the band, to a second edge of the second reinforcement; along at least a portion of an outer periphery of the board and at least from the first contact line to the second contact line, the board further including a band comprising a shock-absorbing material laterally juxtaposed to said core.
