"The first real Snowboard hit the market during the 1960's in the form of Sherman Poppen's Snurfer. It appeared like a weird crossover between a plywood sled and a skateboard deck. The rope attached to the front tip of the snurfer (board) offered the rider some control, and the steel tacks poking through the upper deck held the rider's feet in place."
This quote says that the first real snowboard really wasn't a snowboard it was more of a toy. It held the riders feet in place by steel tack poking through the top part of the board to keep the rider's feet in place. It also gave the rider some control.
