NASH - SKIFER 1969
NASH BEGAN MAKING WATER SKIS IN THE LATE 1950'S. THEY THEN BECAME ONE OF THE FIRST TO MAKE SKATEBOARDS IN THE EARLY-1960'S, ADDED SCOOTERS MID-1960'S, AND IN 1969 JUMPED ON THE SNURFER TREND WITH THIS SKIFER. IN SHORT, THIS IS A DIRECT COPY OF THE SNURFER RIGHT DOWN TO THE ROPE AND STAPLES. THE RIDER GRAPHIC IS SICK.

WHITE BEAR - SNO-surfer (late 1960's)
the sno-surfer was an off shoot of white bear water ski company, on bald eagle lake, in the city of white bear lake, minnesota. tom weinhagen started the business in the late 1940's. the red top side surface is a sandpaper material added for traction. the logo featuring a polar bear wearing a winter cap was created in the 1950's (it first appeared on the water skis). the logo later featured the bear wearing a crown. THERE IS APPARENTLY VIDEO FOOTAGE OF DARE DEVILS RIDING THESE BOARDS BEHIND AN AIRPLANE ON WHITE BEAR LAKE.

Cascade - snurfer type board (reproduction) 1970's?
Cascade made waterski's. we believe they began manufacturing in the 1950's, somewhere in the pacific north west. apparently they had a brief foray into the snow snurfer market. This makes perfect sense due to the 1960/70's snurfer craze because other than traction and rope they already had 90% of the product built - easy market entry. (this is a reproduction of a board seen on ebay).
