Claims

1. A board for gliding over snow, having a side cut with an accentuated camber, comprising

a bottom surface with a forward contact line, defined as being a forward limit of a contact zone of the bottom surface of the board on a horizontal planar surface, the board being placed on the horizontal planar surface, and

a shovel, defined as being a forward part of the board that is curved upward in order to overcome obstacles, the shovel having a width of the shoulder of the ski line, defined as being a line on the bottom surface of the shovel at the location where a width of the shoulder of the ski is at a maximum,

wherein the width of the shoulder of the ski line is distinct from and located forward of the forward contact line toward the shovel and wherein a height (hAV) of the width of the shoulder of the ski line, measured between the bottom surface and the horizontal planar surface, is substantially between 5 mm and 15 mm.

2. The board for gliding as claimed in claim 1, wherein the height (hAV) is substantially between 8 mm and 12 mm.

3. The board for gliding as claimed in claim 1, wherein a distance (dAV) projected onto the horizontal planar surface, measured between the forward contact line and the width of the shoulder of the ski line, is substantially between 40 mm and 90 mm.

4. The board for gliding as claimed in claim 3, wherein the distance (dAV) is substantially between 50 mm and 80 mm.

5. The board for gliding as claimed in claim 3, wherein the distance (dAV) is substantially equal to 65 mm.

6. The board for gliding as claimed claim 1, wherein the width of the shoulder of the ski is substantially between 100 mm and 120 mm.

7. The board for gliding as claimed in claim 6, wherein the width of the shoulder of the ski is substantially between 105 mm and 115 mm.

8. The board for gliding as claimed in claim 6, wherein the width of the shoulder of the ski is substantially equal to 109 mm.

9. The board for gliding as claimed in claim 1, wherein a length (lS) of the shovel projected onto the horizontal planar surface, measured between a tip of the board and the forward contact line, is substantially, between 150 mm and 190 mm.

10. The board for gliding as claimed in claim 9, wherein the length (lS) is substantially between 155 mm and 180 mm.

11. The board for gliding as claimed in claim 9, wherein the length of the shovel projected onto the horizontal planar surface measure between the tip and the forward contact line is substantially equal to 160 mm.
