Go Skate Day: Snowboarders Who Also Rip On a Skateboard

Read the full list of the best snowboarders who skate here.

We would all be hard pressed to not realized that snowboarding, which emerged in the 1960s and 70s, drew significant inspiration from skateboarding, both in its development and culture. The early snowboards were called "snurfers" and they were designed to mimic the fluid, carving motions of surfing and skateboarding. This crossover was natural, as many of the pioneers in snowboarding were skateboarders looking for a way to ride in the winter months.

The influence extended beyond the physical design to the style and attitude of the sport. Skateboarding's emphasis on individual expression, creativity, and pushing boundaries translated seamlessly into snowboarding. Tricks and techniques from skateboarding were adapted for the snow, leading to the development of halfpipe and freestyle snowboarding.

The rebellious, counter-culture ethos of skateboarding also found a home in snowboarding, contributing to its rapid growth and popularity among young people. This shared DNA helped snowboarding evolve into the dynamic and innovative sport it is today.
