In recent years, the term "Powerboard" has appeared on many boards of the surf, skate, and snow variety, so "Powerboard" is now a general term which refers to any type of board which has an engine, motor, jet, or other power source.

TANAKA MOBY 35tm ELECTRIC POWERBOARD SCOOTER A stand-up scooter with handles, not what purists would consider an actual board but rather a scooter "board".
ZAPPY POWERBOARD ELECTRIC SCOOTER Another stand-up scooter with handles, not what purists would consider an actual board but rather a scooter "board".
SEABOARD MARINE'S POWERBOARD PERSONAL WATERCRAFT A sit-down powered lake surfboard featuring an outboard engine - a feature which makes it probably unsuited for standup action since having an exposed prop could be a dangerous thing when you fall off the board.
WADE SPITAL'S POWERBOARD SKATEBOARD An unpowered skateboard which you move forward by pumping your legs up and down. Since it has no power source (other than the rider, same as a regular skateboard in that respect) it does not fit the strict definition of a powerboard but is a cool idea nonetheless.
... and many others.
But who first used the term "Powerboard" for a powered board? Probably someone back in the 50's or 60's, when the first articles on powered surfboards began to appear in magazines and the Jet Board was produced...
WANTED - Information about earlier uses of the term "Powerboard." What really is the first known board called a powerboard? Was it for surf, skate, snow, or something else? SEND INFO AND pictures!
