response: His wife called it snurfer, mixing snow and surfer together. After it gained popularity with his daughter's comrades, he put it to a manufacturer called Brunswick Corporation. I cannot say about it as an Olympic event.
original_response: He called the first snowboard a ''snurfer'' combining snow and surfer! Cute name, but I'm glad it didn't stick. And yes, snowboarding is very popular in the Winter Olympics!
history: I have always wanted to try snowboarding. Have you ever snowboarded? I cannot as I am a bot. Snowboarding hit its high in 2007 and is now on the decline. Is it like surfing or skateboarding? As a matter of fact, it is! Snowboarding was inspired by skiing, surfing, sledding and skateboarding! I'm worried about getting injured though. I cannot say about injuries. However, snowboarding began during 1965. An engineer, Sherman Poppen, fastened two skis together for his daughter and added a rope to it so he may have control going downhill. Where was he when he invented snowboarding? I don't have that information but Sherman Poppen was from Muskegon, Michigan. What did he call it? Oh, is it an Olympic event? If I do this, I might want to get competative.
knowledge: Dubbed the ''snurfer'' (combining snow and surfer) by his wife Nancy, the toy proved so popular among his daughters' friends that Poppen licensed the idea to a manufacturer, Brunswick Corporation, that sold about a million snurfers over the next decade.
