..in the beginning

I recieved a Burton product list in junior high back in 1984. It was the first time I got a good look at a snowboard, outside of a snurfer.( which we loved falling off of growing up in the northeast) To make a long story short my brother and I believd we could make our own burton backyards out of plywood and begin "boarding". Our father suggested to cut the shape out and to score the tip with kerf cuts to add the curve of the "ski" nose.... Well it went according to plan and the nose flexed properly in the garage by pulling back gently on the rope that was attached to it. My father was a genuis...
We head out to our neighbor's 'front yard' and began our test piloting... Within seconds the boards took off down the hill, the feel was amazing like a magic carpet as it flexed over the new snow compared to the stiff snurfers we were used to. But to remain balanced we pulled hard on the rope. Almost simutanously we both snapped our nosees off and tumbled down the hill laughing like crazy. Yeah my father isn't exactly a genius. Many moons passed and we went through many named brand snowboards and even a few burton's.But we have come back full circle to create what we need, so after many sleeplessness nights of dreaming about board designs and conditions, I believe we are ready to move out of r&D and into Production.....
