I haven't snowboarded in years

I haven't either, it is a lot of fun though.Apparently the popularity of it has been declining since 2007 in the US, which is strange to me.

I feel like the decline has something to do with the newer generations using electronics to have fun instead of physical activities.

Well if that were the case other sports would be declining too but that isn't the case. Also, on another note, snowboarding only began in 1965 which I was really surprised by.

True but most sports like football, basketball and baseball are more televised than snowboarding

I think that's more of a correlation to the fact that it isn't as popular and its declining. Also it's so weird that the inventor's wife called the snowboard a "snurfer" since it is a mix of snow and surfer.

That's quite the name. The decline in the sport may have something to do with location since not all areas of the world have access to snowy slopes.
