CREDIT: Jeff Curtes/Courtesy Burton Snowboards 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.
