The 2027 Nitro Cannon is one of the most unique snowboards on the mountain. Part of Nitro's Quiver Series, the Cannon combines an oversized platform, massive nose, and iconic tapered swallowtail shape to create a ride that feels more like surfing than traditional snowboarding. Designed for riders who dream about powder days but still want a board capable of carving groomers back to the lift, the Cannon delivers incredible float, surprising maneuverability, and unforgettable ride quality.
Don't let the size fool you. While the Cannon is built around a high-volume shape, its progressive sidecut and Cam-Out Camber profile make it remarkably responsive and confidence inspiring. It thrives in deep snow, slush, chopped-up resort conditions, and wide-open terrain where speed and flow matter more than quick park laps.
Whether you're chasing storm cycles in Vermont, surfing spring slush, or looking for a board that turns every run into an adventure, the Cannon offers a completely different riding experience than a traditional all-mountain board.
Intermediate to expert riders
Powder enthusiasts
Riders looking for a dedicated storm-day board
Snowboarders who enjoy surf-inspired turns
Freeriders who want maximum float without sacrificing carving ability
Riders seeking a unique addition to their quiver
The biggest update for 2027 is the addition of a 163cm size, making the Cannon accessible to a wider range of riders while maintaining the oversized powder-focused design that has made it a cult favorite.
Intermediate – Expert
The Cannon is surprisingly easy to ride for its size, but riders will get the most out of it once they have solid edge control and confidence in variable terrain.
Nitro's Cam-Out Camber combines traditional camber underfoot with early rise in the nose and tail. The result is a profile that maintains the power, response, and edge hold of camber while adding extra float and forgiveness for powder riding.
Ride Feel: Surfy • Stable • Responsive
Surfy Powder Missile
The Cannon isn't built to ride the mountain. It's built to hunt the best snow on it.
Riders considering the Cannon should also look at:
Nitro Dinghy for a more versatile powder-oriented daily driver
Nitro Fintwin for a more playful powder freestyle feel
GNU Gremlin for all-mountain versatility with strong float
Lib Tech Dynamo for riders who prioritize carving and resort performance over dedicated powder riding
