Etymology

The modern snowboard as we know it today originated in the 1960s and 1970s, inspired by surfing and skateboarding. Sherman Poppen is often credited with inventing the first snowboard, called the Snurfer, in 1965. Over the years, snowboarding has evolved into a popular winter sport, with its own culture and competitions.
