Although snowboarding is a very popular winter sport for young people, we can find few reports discussing a snowboard or snowboarding dynamically. The authors and their collaborators have discussed the dynamic bending deformation of a ski resting on snow surface. Furthermore, they developed a numerical approach to simulate a ski turn. >From various numerical calculations, it was made clear that the ski turn depends on the skier's ski control, the mechanical properties and shape of the ski, the condition of snow surface, and so on. In the present study, it is attempted to discuss dynamically a snowboard turn. First, the numerical approach for the ski turn is modified to simulate the snowboard turn. In the approach, it is possible to discuss the effects of the mechanical properties and shape of the snowboard, the property of snow surface and the snowboarder's snowboard control on the snowboard turn. Next, numerical calculations are carried out to demonstrate the usefulness of the modified numerical approach.
