Paragraph E = ? par Heleen Molenaar 1 Paragraph 1 To say who actually invented the sport of snowboarding would be impossible because people have always loved to slide down a snow - covered hill . Soaring through the snow on some kind of seat or board is nothing new . The ways to enjoy the snow are numerous , and people have devised ways to turn garbage can lids and cardboard into ? snow boards' to enjoy an afternoon frolic outdoors . The various ways to glide through snow have become more sophisticated and have evolved into using polished boards or skis in much the same manner as a surfboarder would ride a wave . Paragraph Snowboarding continued to increase in popularity over the next several years . In 1985 the first magazine dedicated specifically to snowboarding hit the news stands with huge success and furthered the popularity of this exciting sport . Hoards of fans began to organize regional events and pretty soon snowboarding events were held in all parts of the world . In the year 1994 snowboarding was finally declared an Olympic event , much to the delight of fans . The not - so - new sport of snowboarding was finally recognized and meant a huge victory for serious snowboarders across the globe . Paragraph The ? Flying Yellow Banana' was developed in 1977 . This was nothing more than a plastic shell covered with a top surface like that of a skateboard , but at the time it was considered a major advance in the little known sport of snowboarding . The first national snowboard race was held in the area outside Woodstock and was known as ? The Suicide Six . ' The race consisted of a steep downhill run called The Face in which the main goal was probably mere survival . Paragraph A collection of snowboarding tricks and stunts was released on video in 1996 . Filmed in Alaska , the breathtaking beauty and captivating snowboarding techniques featured in the video exposed snowboarding to a new generation , and by 1998 snowboarding constituted almost 50% of all winter activity . Today , nearly all ski resorts accept snowboarders . There are still a few holding on to the past but this is unlikely to continue as the number of snowboarders continually increases . Paragraph There have been many attempts at developing a modern snowboard . In 1965 , the ? Snurfer' ( a word play on ? snow' and ? surfer' ) was developed as a child's toy . Two skis were bound together and a rope was placed at the front end to afford control and stability . Over 500 , 000 ? Snurfers' were sold in 1966 but they were never seen as more than a child's plaything even though organized competitions began to take place . The year 1969 brought a slightly more sophisticated snowboard based on the principles of skiing combined with surfboard styling .
