History The first snowboard ever
made is debatable. But it was made sometime around the
1920's, when kids would take barrel staves and ride down
hills side ways. In the 70's Jake Burton started to shape
snowboards out of wood and fixed rubber straps to them
for bindings. Vermont played a big role in the birth of
snowboarding. It was the first state to hold established
snowboard contests in the late 70's early 80's. Vermont
also was the first state to build a snowboard park in the
early 80's.
