I bet it requires lots of practice too. So it's a fairly new sport if it was discovered in the 1960's then?

knowledge: Modern snowboarding began in 1965 when Sherman Poppen, an engineer in Muskegon, Michigan, invented a toy for his daughters by fastening two skis together and attaching a rope to one end so he would have some control as they stood on the board and glided downhill.
response: I don't have that information here right now, but I know that snowboarding got its start when a man named Poppen made his kids a toy. He smashed two skis together, then attached a rope.
