Back in 1977 Jake Burton Carpenter founded the company out of inspiration from riding the original Snurfer's brought to the world by Sherman Poppen in 1965. In a little work space in Central Vermont he and a few friends handcrafted each and every one of the original boards with a simple layout of traction pad, rope, and handle on a board that "surfed" its way down any slope that they could find to hike.Relive a little bit of that history with your very own Burton DIY Throwback kit and craft your own powsurfer to use around on local hills or the backcountry if you have a chance BEND RockerCORE FSC™ Certified Ply FIBERGLASS Biax™ Fiberglass BASE Extruded Base
