Vintage snowboarding from the 60s-90s
Originally called snow surfing or snurfing, snowboarding began in the late 1960s by an engineer in Michigan by attaching two skis together. In one year he sold half a million “Snurfers” with the Brunswick Co.
Modern snowboarding was pioneered by Jake Burton Carpenter and Tom Sims and got global recognition in the 80s. From then on snowboarding became widely popular and continues to grow as a professional sport.
