SNOWBOARDING For my passion I chose snowboarding. The history of the Snowboard It is hard to say who actually invented the first Snowboard. But one of the first people though to invent a snowboard like sled before was Jack Burchett. He cut out a plank of plywood in 1929 and tried to strap his feet to the plank with some clothesline and horse reins. This style of snowboard was not further improved until 1965. In this year Sherman Poppen, a chemical gases engineer in Muskegon invented the "Snurfer" as a toy for his daughter. He made the "Snurfer" by bounding two skies together and putting a rope at the nose so the rider could hold it and keep it more stable. Many of his daughter's friends wanted a Snurfer, and soon Poppen licensed his new idea to a manufacturer. The Snurfer was sold over half a million times in 1966 but was only seen as a toy for kids, Even though Poppen organized competitions with his new board.
