Abstract
The purpose of the study was to conduct the usability study of a newly developed customized snowboard deck through the questionnaire. A total of five snowboard players who had 5.80±2.49 years of experience tested three decks (one prototype - B, two foreign product- Y and S. The athletes performed 4 carving turns and 4 short turns on the advanced and intermediate slope each for each deck and filled out the prepared questionnaire. The result obtained from the evaluation are as follows: there was no statistically significant difference according to the deck type, but the prototype (B) had lower points than the S (foreign product) deck in terms of steering, accuracy, stability, and functionality. However, in terms of stability, functionality, and aesthetics, prototype (B) was found to be superior to the Y (foreign product) deck. It is considered that further evaluation regarding the physical property tests of each deck such as torsional vibration and elasticity using various materials and reinforcement structures is required to improve the prototype.
