Nash Skifer - Red with yellow and orange pinstripes. Foot securing "staples" offered the highest tech foot stabilizing technology of its time. The original rope added fore/aft balance control and hope that your nose didn't dive into the snow! While it looks like it has been ridden a few times (base wear), the top is super clean and pristine.
Snow Skimmers, Snurfers and Skifers were the first versions of snowboards. Most of the early pioneers of modern snowboarding owned these “toys” throughout their life. Jake Burton (one of the first to shape vintage snowboards) would modify Snurfers in his backyard. Sherman Poppen invented Snurfers in 1965 in Muskegon, Michigan. Many attribute Sherm as the father of modern snowboarding.
