Jake Burton Carpenter founded Burton® Snowboards out of his Vermont barn in 1977 and has dedicated his life to snowboarding ever since. Burton served a pivotal role in progressing snowboarding from a backyard hobby to a world-class sport by creating state of the art products and supporting the world’s best riders.
Yes, Burton’s team riders are world champions, innovators, and pioneers of progression, but they’re also the best ambassadors for all things Burton. From rider round tables to on the snow testing, Burton’s team provides invaluable feedback on all products. These riders define what it means to be pro and spread the love of snowboarding around the globe.
Burton has a responsibility to the sport they pioneered, and to the environment that sustains it. They’re only as good as the impact they have, so they’re investing in both action and advocacy in order to rapidly minimize their effect on both people and the planet.
After driving innovation and progress for over 40 years, Burton knows it’s all about the journey. The product, community, and culture speak for itself. The rest? Well, you’ll just have to drop in and see for yourself.
