From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Snowboards are boards, which resemble a wide ski, with the ability to glide on snow. Users of such equipment may be referred to as snowboarders. Commercial snowboards generally require extra equipment such as bindings and special boots which help secure both feet of a snowboarder, who generally rides in an upright position. These type of boards are commonly used by people at ski hills or resorts for leisure, entertainment and competitive purposes in the activity called snowboarding. HistoryState quarter design commemorating the first snowboard being invented in Utah Main article: Snowboarding#HistorySome argue that the first snowboard was invented by Sherman Poppen in 1965 and was called a Snurfer (combination of Snow Surfer). The snurfer was fairly simple and had no bindings. However the state of Utah claims that the first snowboards were developed and manufactured there in the early 1970s, and was commemorated in 2007 by the United States mint among the three semi-final designs of the Utah state quarter. At least one source believes that Jake Burton Carpenter (founder of Burton Snowboards) and/or Tom Sims (founder of Sims Snowboards) invented snowboarding. In 2008, selling snowboarding equipment was a $487 million industry. In 2008, average equipment ran about $540 including board, boots, and bindings. UsersThere were 6.6 million riders in 2005. Females comprised 25% of snowboarders. In 2008, there were 5.1 million participants. Manufacturers believed that the decrease in the number of riders was because of poor weather.

I was looking at some Rome snowboards and i noticed that some of the boards had a true twin shape and others a almost twin shape. I would just like to know what the difference is. Asked by bob s - Thu Jan 22 23:02:22 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. A true twin is something that will ride the exact same either way. And a "twin-ish" board has a slight tail difference so you can still ride switch but its not the same. Answered by Kevin - Thu Jan 22 23:43:13 2009 What are some good snowboards out there for 2009?
Q. I need some help on finding a good mens board to buy for snowboarding. Im a size 147 at the most. Please help! Asked by Shaun B - Sat Nov 29 12:53:09 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I don't feel like naming over 300 snowboards because the only thing you listed to narrow down the list is a size and gender. You didn't state where you ride, what type of boarding you do (freestyle, freeride, pipe etc.), you didn't say your budget, you didn't say if you needed a wide or not, so I'm sorry to say I can't really help you.
