Abstract
An improved snowboard having a pair of dual-acting, interchangeable edges. Each dual-acting edge incorporates one inside, inward-facing edge and one elevated outside edge. The inside, inward-facing edges provide stable control of the snowboard while riding it flat on the snow. One of the elevated outside edges is brought into contact with the snow when the snowboard is tilted off its bottom surface and up onto the outside edge for increased carving and turning power.
