A rotatable binding for a snowboard comprises a base plate on the snowboard and a binding plate rotatably mounted on top of the base plate and including a foot binding and a locking assembly for selectively locking, at a desired angle of rotation, the binding plate to the base plate. In a preferred embodiment, the top of the base plate includes an indexing platform including a multiplicity of bores arranged in a circular arc about a central axis and the bottom of the base plate includes a pedestal, having a width about the width of a human foot, traversing the snowboard and supporting the indexing platform above top surface of the snowboard. The locking assembly includes a pin selectively moveable from a raised position, not restricting rotation of the binding plate relative to the base plate to a lowered position engaging an indexing bore such that the binding plate may not rotate relative to the base plate.

A binding for a snowboard; said binding comprising: a base plate to be fixedly attached to a top surface of the snowboard; said base plate having: a top including an indexing platform including a multiplicity of bores arranged in circular fashion along a circular arc about a central axis; a binding plate rotatably mounted on said base plate, so as to rotate unobstructedly 360°about an axis of rotation coincident with the central axis of the circular arc of the bores, including: a bottom; a top; a foot binding on said binding plate top; a locking assembly including: a pin mounted on the top of said binding plate selectively moveable from a raised position clear of the bottom of the binding plate and not restricting rotation of said binding plate relative to said base plate, to a lowered position extending below the bottom of said binding plate engaging a said bore such that said binding plate may not rotate relative to said base plate; said pin positioned on said base plate such that said pin is registrable in any one of said multiplicity of bores; and mounting means for mounting said binding plate to said base plate so as to permit it to rotate relative thereto.
