Burton
Burton is an American manufacturer of snowboards, bindings, clothing and protective gear and is considered the trailblazer of snowboarding. In 1977 the company founder Jake Burton Carpenter constructed one of the first snowboards out of wood - initially without any commercial success. Unimpressed by this Carpenter continued producing and in the 1980's and 1990's his company paved the way for establishing snowboarding as a mainstream sport. Since then Burton has shaped the sport like no other company. » Learn more about Burton
