The invention relates to an autonomous electromagnetic control system for binding boots to a snowboard, skis or generally any board used for sports, such as a skateboard or a surfboard. The inventive system is disposed on the clothing and boots of the sportsperson as well as on the board, in order to ensure the safe practice of said sports. According to the invention, the system comprises: rechargeable batteries; electric or solar chargers; power switches; electromagnetic suction elements or electromagnets which are provided in each boot; slabs, sheets or particles of a ferromagnetic material, which are housed in the board(s) on which the boots are positioned and fixed; and, optionally, a system for the transmission/reception of commands, using electromagnetic waves or infrared rays, which is used to control the aforementioned switches and which can be equipped with a voice-recognition device. In this way, a sportsperson equipped with any of the optional system configurations, comprising suit/boots and board or boards, can slide on the corresponding surface securely and with optimal control. In addition, the system enables the user to detach him/herself from the board quickly, conveniently, remotely and autonomously, without the need for an automatic board-release system that is not controlled by the user.
