The invention of the surfboard rocker could be credited to Bob Simmons (1919-1954). Bob Simmons is also the guy you could call the âFather of the Modern Surfboardâ. He introduced number of innovations and new shapes. Bob Simmons was constantly experimenting with surfboard designs.
Carpenter at work Jake Burton built his snowboarding company from a couple of relatives to 845 employees. Carpenter was 14 when he got a Snurfer, the first snow surfboard. It became such an obsession that 10 years and 100 prototypes later, Carpenter produced the Burton Backhill, one of the first snowboards. (He figured Burton was a better brand name than Carpenter.) That was in 1977, and Carpenter thought he would get rich quickly selling these boards.
