Snowboarding was invented in 1965. Sherman Poppen fixed two skis together to surf down the hill outside their home in Michigan. This invention went into production the following year being called the Snurfer. It was not technically a snowboard because it didn't have bindings but it is how the early Guys got hooked. Over the next ten years pioneers like Demetije Milovich, Tom Sims and Jake Burton created more sufficient board designs. By the 80's tons of brands went into market including Sims, Burton, Gnu, Avalanche, Winterstick and Barfoot. In the year 2000, snowboarding was the fastest growing sport in the United States. |
