The writer varies syntax in the sentence by separating a related idea using parentheses. The phrase "though many before him, including children and adults, have claimed to slide seamlessly down a hill while standing on a single flat surface" is presented within parentheses, adding additional context and emphasizing the idea that others have engaged in similar activities prior to Sherman Poppen's invention.
Sherman Poppen is credited with inventing the snowboard (though many before him, including children and adults, have claimed to slide seamlessly down a hill while standing on a single flat surface), which allowed for the sport to take hold during the 1970s and 1980s.
