It's not exactly clear who built the first snowboard. Some say the sport was born in 1929, when M.J. "Jack" Burchett constructed a board out of plywood and attached it to his feet with clothesline and horse reins. While this has yet to verified, it is certain that in 1965 Sherman Poppen of Muskegon, Michigan, created the prototype for the original mass-produced board, tieing two skis together for his daughters on Christmas morning. His wife named it the Snurfer, and it became a hit.
Soon a young rider named Jake Burton Carpenter began toying around with the Snurfuer design, and in 1977, after graduating from New York University, he founded what would later become the biggest snowboard company in the world. Meanwhile in 1970, a surfing fan named Dimitrije Milovich started working on another design, inspired by his sledding down a hill on a cafeteria tray. Winterstick, the company he formed in 1976 , is still around today. The industry was on it's way.
The first national snowboard competition was held in 1982 at Suicide Six near Woodstock, Vermont, and five years later, during the 1987-88 season, the four events that made up the first snowboarding World Cup took place. But it wasn't until 1998 that the ultimate outsider sport received the establishment's highest recognition: inclusion in the Olympic Games at Nagano, Japan.
