In 1977, Jake Burton Carpenter founded Burton Snowboards out of his Vermont barn and has dedicated his life to snowboarding ever since. Burton has played a pivotal role in growing snowboarding from a backyard hobby to a world-class sport by creating ground-breaking products, supporting a team of top snowboarders and pushing resorts to allow snowboarding. Today, Burton designs and manufactures industry-leading products for snowboarding and the snowboard lifestyle, including snowboards, boots, bindings, outerwear and layering as well as year-round apparel, packs/bags and accessories. Privately held and owned by Jake and his wife, Burton President Donna Carpenter, Burton’s headquarters are in Burlington, Vermont with offices in Austria, Japan, Australia, California, Canada and China.

“We’re excited to continue our long-standing relationship with Burton and open up our archives for the new line of Burton x Playboy snowboards,” said Matt Nordby, Playboy Enterprises’ president of global licensing. “Playboy’s fun and creative attitude has been a natural fit with snowboard enthusiasts and Burton fans for years, and we’re proud to work with a great partner like Burton.”

Ink ambassador Chris Nunez said, “It’s been an honor to work on this project with great friends and family. And to work on such iconic photos for Playboy was the icing on the cake for me.” Nunez is an American tattoo artist and reality television star, appearing as a judge on all seven seasons of the hit Spike TV show, “Ink Master” and a featured artist on TLC’s “Miami Ink.” He is also the owner of Handcrafted Tattoo And Art Gallery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
