Gliding or rolling board

Abstract

A gliding or rolling board having a length measured along a longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end, a width measured along a transverse direction between a first edge and a second edge, as well as a height measured between a bottom and a top, the board including a core that extends along a substantial surface. The board includes a lower reinforcement located beneath the core and an upper reinforcement located above the core, the lower reinforcement including a first layer of natural fibers, the upper reinforcement including a first layer of natural fibers.

1 . A gliding or rolling board comprising:
 a length measured along a longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end;   a width measured along a transverse direction between a first edge and a second edge;   a thickness measured between a bottom and a top;   a core extending lengthwise along a board;   a lower reinforcement located beneath the core, the lower reinforcement including a first layer of natural fibers;   an upper reinforcement located above the core, the upper reinforcement including a first layer of natural fibers.   
     
     
         2 . A board according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the lower reinforcement includes a first layer of artificial fibers;   the upper reinforcement includes a first layer of artificial fibers.   
     
     
         3 . A board according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 the first layer of artificial fibers of the lower reinforcement includes longitudinal fibers as well as transverse fibers;   the first layer of the upper reinforcement includes longitudinal fibers as well as transverse fibers.   
     
     
         4 . A board according to  claim 2 , wherein:
 each of the first layers of artificial fibers includes glass fibers.   
     
     
         5 . A board according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the lower reinforcement includes a second layer of natural fibers;   the upper reinforcement includes a second layer of natural fibers.   
     
     
         6 . A board according to  claim 5 , wherein:
 the second layer of natural fibers includes transversely oriented fibers;   the second layer of natural fibers includes transversely oriented fibers.   
     
     
         7 . A board according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first layer of natural fibers of the lower reinforcement includes longitudinally oriented fibers;   the first layer of natural fibers of the upper reinforcement includes longitudinally oriented fibers.   
     
     
         8 . A board according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of the layers of natural fibers has a thickness between 0.1 and 2 mm.   
     
     
         9 . A board according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the natural fibers include bamboo.   
     
     
         10 . A board according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a sole and a protective layer.   
     
     
         11 . A board according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the board has a cap construction, with the upper reinforcement comprising a one-piece layer forming a structural top and downwardly extending sidewalls.   
     
     
         12 . A board according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the core, the upper reinforcement and the lower reinforcement form a sandwich panel extending along at least 50% of the length of the board.   
     
     
         13 . A board according to  claim 12 , wherein:
 the board has a box type of structure, whereby said structure includes a first sidewall at the first edge and a second sidewall at the second edge, said core being positioned transversely between the first and second sidewalls.
