Barfoot boards

Chuck Barfoot, started making snowboards out of Sims’ garage in 1977. Apparently Barfoot was the one who actually made the snowboards at that point, and he also worked with Bob Webber. Bob Webber came up with something called „The Yellow Banana“. Barfoot apparently tweaked it a bit and came up with „The Flying Yellow Banana“. It’s sold under the Sims name as the „Skiboard“.
