NITRO
|
Nitro Snowboards is a leading brand with a long-standing history in the global snowboarding industry. Founded in the winter of 1989/1990 in Seattle, Washington, by professional snowboarders Thomas Delago and Sepp Ardelt, the company was born in a coffee shop called Vera's Cafe. Its goal was to create innovative, high-quality gear driven directly by the riders' own passion. Nitro stands out for maintaining a philosophy true to the classic spirit of snowboarding, combined with constant technological innovations in boards, bindings, and boots. Today, Nitro remains one of the most influential and independent brands in the snowboarding world, upholding its "by and for snowboarders" philosophy. |
Why choose NITRO snowboards
100% "Rider-Driven" Philosophy
Unlike mass-market brands that create exclusive prototypes for their elite competitors, Nitro team professionals (such as Marcus Kleveland) compete using the exact same boards you can buy in any shop. This ensures that the high-end technology and extreme durability required at the professional level are available directly to you.
Bombproof durability and practical technologies
Users often note that Nitro boards remain lively and responsive even after years of extreme abuse. This is due to the brand's focus on no-nonsense yet highly effective technologies, such as Rail Killer Edges, Power Pods, and high-speed sintered bases.
Total equipment synergy (Complete Ecosystem)
When buying a Nitro package or outfitting yourself with their full product line, it is clear that the boards, bindings, and boots are designed to work in perfect harmony. Their boots, for instance, enjoy one of the best reputations on the market thanks to the TLS quick-lacing system, air cushioning, and Vibram soles that significantly reduce muscle fatigue after long days on the mountain. Additionally, they have partnered with Burton to incorporate the innovative Step On® quick-binding system into their product lines.
Real sustainability on the mountain
If you care about the environment, Nitro leads by example. All their boards are manufactured using 100% solar energy, FSC-certified wood cores (responsible forest management), and water-based inks, with a high percentage of recycled materials used in the bases and steel edges.
