2. The 1st snowboard.
The Novak Snurfboard
 Developed in 1965 by Sherman
Poppen in his garage after watching his
daughter try to stand on her sled while
going down hill.

3. The rapid growth of the
snurfboard!
 “I rushed into the garage, clamped two
water skis together, tied a rope around
the tip for control, and turned her loose,”
said Poppen.“Pretty soon the neighbor
kids started coming over and asking if I
could make one for them.” in late 1966
he licensed the idea to Brunswick and
the “snurfboard” hit the market!

4. Transition from snurfboard to
snowboard.
 In the late 70’s the snurfboard was
replaced by the snowboard. The 1st
snowboard was created by a man
named Jake Burton.The snowboard
utilized an additional “binding” for more
control rather than a rope on the front
end of the board.

5. The Improvement of Burton’s
Snowboard
 Skateboard legend Tom Sims and
surfing legend Dimitrije Milovich began
to improve the snowboard and create
their own versions of the snowboard.
These three men would set up the into
to a new era of snowboarding.

6. The explosion of interest in
snowboarding.
 The craze of snowboarding took of in
the early 80’s.at first the majority of the
mountain was skiers and had very few
snowboarders. However that would later
change.

7. Skiers VS. Snowboarders
 As we all know us snowboarders and
those two plank, pole wielding skiers DO
not get along real well on the slopes. Wit
that being said there is one of holiest of
all holy events that occur on the
mountain….. A YARD SALE!!!

8. The Yard Sale.
 A yard Sale is when a skier completely
eats snow and his/her skis fly of his/her
feet and there poles are dropped from
their hands. As a snowboarder when
you see one such event you yell out
“Yard Sale” and grab either a pole or ski
and continue to snowboard down the
slope a few feet and then proceed to
ditch the item and continue to ride on.

9. Types of boards, Free Style
boards
 A free style board is wider and much
more stable and is way more forgiving
for the rider. It is also shorter and lighter.
