<p>A snowboard, surfboard, monoski, water-ski and the like has a foamed plastic core (1) between upper and lower layers (2, 3) of epoxy resin impregnated fabric. The core can be shaped and rigidly coupled to the layers by heating in a mould. A base with a corresponding lamina is associated with the lower layer. A topskin element (16) is associated with the upper layer. The plastic core may be polyvinylchloride foam. The upper and lower layers may be stitched together through the core using glass, nylon, carbon or 'Kevlar' (RTM) filaments. Also claimed is a method of making a snowboard as above.</p> |
