Burton Snowboards is releasing a limited-edition series of snowboarding equipment and clothing titled 'From Burton to the World.' This collection integrates signature phrases from the brand's late founder, Jake Burton Carpenter.
The company's sponsored athletes will initially showcase the 'From Burton to the World' launch during international competitions in Aspen, Colorado, and Laax, Switzerland. There will be a broader public sale in February.
Donna Carpenter, Burton Owner & Chair of the Board, shared about the capsule: "Jake built Burton on a simple belief: snowboarding brings people together. While we watch individual athletes compete, what Jake understood and what our riders embody is that snowboarding has always been about community. 'From Burton to the World' celebrates this spirit. Each board carries Jake's words, but more importantly, 'From Burton to the World' represents the passion snowboarders share on and off the mountain. This collection is a tribute to Jake's vision, which is now carried forward by riders around the world who continue to push the sport while staying true to its soul."
