Later, there were some people, who built snowboard like sleds. One of them was M.J. "Jack" Burchett. He cut out a plank of plywood in 1929 and tried to secure his feet with some clothesline and horse reins. Burchett came up with on of the first "snowboards".Another snowboard inventor is Sherman Po**en. In 1965 Po**en, a chemical gases engineer in Muskegon, Michigan, invented "The Snurfer" (a mix between the two words "snow" and "surfer") as a toy for his daughter. He made the Snurfer by strapping two skis together and attaching a rope to the front tip of the snurfer, so the rider could hold it and keep it more stable. Many of his daughters friends wanted one of those new Snurfers, and soon Po**en lincensed his new idea to a manufacturer.
