The invention concerns a gliding board consisting of a body in the form of an elongated plate (4) comprising at least a flexible tip (7) produced by an abrupt change in the core assembly (12). Shock-absorbing zones (15) consisting of viscoelastic materials provide it with enhanced contact with the snow. The change of thickness (12) can raise the edges (9 and 10) beyond the contact points (5 and 6) to provide the board with more efficient and easier control.
