History of Snowboarding

So the season is over for the most part, so I figured I'd brush up on my history, and spread a little knowledge your way. Snowboarding got its origins from a mix of a few things surfing, skiing, and skateboarding. East Coast surfers had no where to surf in the winter and wanted to go against the curve of the skiers. Jake Burton created the first modern day snowboard, and the funny thing is it could only be used in the back country. Even still today snowbaording is not allowed on some mountains, or some parts of mountains. But heres a video that will show you a more in-depth look.
