This Snow Skimmer by Marina of Racine Wisconsin is complete with its original nylon braided rope red painted wooden handle - and the original box!. It is in excellent condition. It looks like it has never been used, but there is a little paint chipped off the base/edge (see photos). 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.
