Nitro Snowboards was founded by Thomas Delago and Sepp Ardelt in 1989 in Seattle WA. Since its inception Nitro has been committed solely to snowboarding and has striven to represent true snowboarders with renowned quality, innovative products and trend-setting art. Andreas Wiig, Eero Ettala and Janna Meyen ride Nitro Boards and Raiden Bindings to shred all winter and stay a line ahead of the rest of the crowd. In 2004 Nitro expanded its product offerings by creating Raiden Bindings and later L1 Outerwear for those committed to riding hard and looking fresh.
