Snowboard construction has progressed significantly since pioneers like Dimitrije Milovich, Tom Sims, Chuck Barfoot and Jake Burton experimented with materials and construction techniques to create the first powder specific snowboards in the late 70’s. It’s no surprise that in the 80’s snowboarding took a lot of technology from skiing.
To this day, although new materials have been discovered, shapes and manufacturing techniques tweaked and refined the guts of a snowboard remain the same.
