Soaring boarders...
Snow boarding comes from the same place as surfing does: Hawaii. By which I mean it was invented by someone from Hawaii, John Jeremaiah Sullivan reports on nytimes.com.
"Snurfing" (i.e., snow-surfing) began with Robert Trumbull, a Honolulu newspaper editor who started snurfing in Yosemite while on vacation in 1938, Sullivan wrote.
This winter -- 80 years after Trumbull's breakthrough -- big-air snowboarding will debut at the Olympics, he added.
