Benefits of technology

[0015]The invention improves the fatigue strength of a rear support element.
[0016]More particularly, the Invention limits, or even avoids, cracks or incipient breaks on a rear support element that includes reinforcement fibers.
[0021]Thus in the support device according to the invention, the rear support element has a high mechanical strength and is lightweight. Furthermore, the support element has good fatigue strength and good long-term structural stability.

Problems solved by technology

It has been noted, however, that for certain types of snowboarding, the flexional strength of the rear support element is insufficient.
However, it has been noted that the reinforced element deteriorates over time.
Indeed, successive forces can cause cracks or incipient breaks, mainly on the side of the free surface.
In other words, the rear support element according to the prior art is not adequately fatigue resistant, due to the fact that the free surface works alternately In compression.
