A snowboard binding comprises two assemblies that are capable of being mated or docked with each other and locked together while the snowboard is in use. One of the assemblies may be affixed to the deck of the snowboard. In an embodiment of the invention, the other assembly may be secured, e.g., to the user's boot, and in an embodiment of the invention, the features of the other assembly that support docking and locking of the assemblies may be incorporated into a boot. Either or both assemblies may comprise one or more permanent magnets configured to assist docking by attracting the assemblies to one another in a manner that encourages them to dock in a proper configuration. In embodiments of the invention, locking the docked assemblies together may be achieved without use of the hands.

1. A binding, comprising: a binding base;the binding base configured to dock to at least a portion of a board, wherein the portion of the board includes a board base;the binding base, when docked to the portion of the board, further configured to rotate in a first direction to secure the binding base to the portion of the board;the binding base, when secured to the portion of the board, further configured to rotate in a second direction to allow separation of the binding base from the portion of the board; andone or more magnets configured to couple to at least one of the binding base and the portion of the board, wherein the one or more magnets are further configured to dock the binding base with the portion of the board before the binding base rotates in the first direction, wherein at least one of the magnets, when docked, is aligned with a second magnet, and wherein the at least one of the magnets is not aligned with the second magnet after the binding base rotates in the first direction. 2. The binding of claim 1, further comprising a lock configured to prevent the binding base from rotating in the second direction. 3. The binding of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first direction and the second direction is at least one of a clockwise and a counter clockwise rotation of the binding base around an axis perpendicular to the board. 4. The binding of claim 1, wherein the first direction includes a counter clockwise rotation of the binding base around an axis perpendicular to the board. 5. The binding of claim 2, wherein the lock is configured to mechanically engage the binding base when the binding base rotates in the first direction. 6. The binding of claim 1, wherein at least one of the portion of the board and the binding base includes one or more shelves, wherein at least one of the portion of the board and the binding base includes one or more lips, and wherein the one or more shelves are located in relation to the one or more lips to prevent separation of the binding base from the portion of the board when the binding base rotates in the first direction. 7. The binding of claim 1, wherein the binding base, when initially docked to the portion of the board, is not aligned with the portion of the board. 8. A board binding apparatus, comprising: a binding base;a board base configured to affix to a board deck;the binding base configured to dock with the board base;the binding base, when docked to the board base, further configured to rotate in a first direction relative to the board base to prevent undocking of the binding base from the board base;the binding base, after rotating in the first direction, further configured to rotate in a second direction relative to the board base to allow undocking of the binding base from the board base, andone or more magnets configured to couple to at least one of the binding base and the board base, wherein the one or more magnets are further configured to dock the binding base with the board base before the binding base rotates in the first direction, wherein at least one of the magnets, when docked, is aligned with a second magnet, and wherein the at least one of the magnets is not aligned with the second magnet after the binding base rotates in the first direction. 9. The board binding apparatus of claim 8, further comprising a lock configured to prevent the binding base from rotating in the second direction. 10. The board binding apparatus of claim 8, wherein at least one of the first direction and the second direction is at least one of a clockwise and a counter clockwise rotation relative to the board base. 11. The board binding apparatus of claim 8, wherein the first direction includes a counter clockwise rotation of the binding base relative to the board base. 12. The board binding apparatus of claim 9, wherein the lock is configured to mechanically engage the binding base when the binding base rotates in the first direction. 13. The board binding apparatus of claim 8, wherein at least one of the board base and the binding base includes one or more shelves, and wherein at least one of the board base and the binding base includes one or more lips and wherein the one or more shelves are located in relation to the one or more lips to prevent undocking of the binding base from the board base when the binding base rotates in the first direction. 14. The board binding apparatus of claim 8, wherein the binding base, when initially docked to the board base, is not aligned with the board base. 15. A binding apparatus, comprising: a binding base configured to dock to a board base, the board base configured to affix to a board deck;the binding base, when docked to the board base, further configured to rotate in a first direction around an axis perpendicular to the board base to prevent undocking of the binding base from the board base;the binding base, after rotating in the first direction, further configured to rotate in a second direction around the axis perpendicular to the board base to allow undocking of the binding base from the board base; andone or more magnets configured to couple to at least one of the binding base and the board base, wherein the one or more magnets are further configured to dock the binding base to the board base before the binding base rotates in the first direction, wherein at least one of the magnets, when docked, is aligned with a second magnet, and wherein the at least one of the magnets is not aligned with the second magnet after the binding base rotates in the first direction. 16. The binding apparatus of claim 15, further comprising a lock configured to prevent the binding base from rotating in the second direction. 17. The binding apparatus of claim 15, wherein at least one of the first direction and the second direction is at least one of a clockwise and a counter clockwise rotation around the axis perpendicular to the board base. 18. The binding apparatus of claim 15, wherein at least one of the board base and the binding base includes one or more shelves, and wherein at least one of the board base and the binding base includes one or more lips, and wherein the one or more shelves are located in relation to the one or more lips to prevent undocking of the binding base from the board base when the binding base rotates in the first direction around the axis perpendicular to the board base. 19. The binding apparatus of claim 15, wherein the binding base, when initially docked to the board base, is not aligned with the board base. 20. The binding apparatus of claim 16, wherein the lock is configured to mechanically engage the binding base when the binding base rotates in the first direction around the axis perpendicular to the board base.
