A Snakeboard, also known as streetboard, or pivotboard is a board that was invented in South Africa in 1989[1] by James Fisher,[2] Simon King[2] and Oliver Macleod Smith.[2] The concept was to fuse the original skateboard with elements of snowboarding and surfing to create a fun riding experience. The first prototype was constructed using two square wooden boards, an old roller skate chopped in half, and a piece of plumbing pipe to join them together. Many variants were tried before manufacturing began. The first boards to be mass-produced were made from a strong plastic nylon known as Zytel ST801.
