It all started when the snow was so deep Greg Todds couldn't even find his binding straps, decided to get rid of them, and invented the NoBoard. 

Noboarding, which makes snowboarding more like surfing or skateboarding, brings snowboaring back to the basics and takes away the boot and binding connection of your feet to the board. The Noboard Pad attaches to your snow board with 3M double sided tape and is made of a casted heavy duty thermal-set elastomeric-polymer pad which can handle weather up to -65 degrees celcius. The last piece is a bungee that you hold to help you carve and keep the board from falling from under you. No word on where to buy the Noboard Pad yet. Noboard.
