1. They are giving the "inventor" of the "no-board" too much credit
for starting something new, IMO. What he's really done is resurrect
the Snurfer, as you point out. The only difference between a no-board
and a Snurfer appears to be that the no-board is based on a modern
snowboard rather than a crappy piece of plastic.

Actually, the original Snurfer was a not so crappy piece of plywood if
I remember correctly. And I actually rode one a few times back when I
was a kid.

Something like this is worthless once the snow has been broken up. It
can really only be used on unbroken snow. I've seen some films on RSN
where some surfer dudes takes their surf boards out and ride them in
the back country. So this entire article is really a big 'so what,
people have been doing that for years'.
