What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"The Cannon is pure joy when the snow stacks deep. I ride the 173, and despite the length, it feels nimble with tons of float and stability without sacrificing maneuverability. It’s a quiver essential if you like drawing big lines or ripping deep turns in open terrain."When the snow gets deep and the lines get big, we reach for the Nitro Cannon Snowboard, an iconic swallowtail that’s become a staple in the Nitro Quiver Series. Thanks to its tapered design and signature tail cutout, the Cannon surfs through powder with remarkable float and ease, all while delivering the stability and control we need for technical descents, slushy park laps, or even the occasional pipe hit. Crafted with Nitro’s Powercore II construction, a progressive sidecut, and the high-performance Sintered EcoSpeed base, the Cannon offers a responsive yet forgiving flex ideal for smooth carves at high speeds and stylish slashes through natural terrain. The extended nose and tapered tail make powder days effortless, while the reduced effective edge ensures it rides shorter than it looks, allowing us to harness the power of a long board without compromising control.
