This is an original Snurfer with nylon rope.
You can imagine all the fun that was had on it. There is some water damage to the tail section. However, it will still look great in your collection or on the wall.  

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.
