The Cannon 2023 is a freeride board for advanced boarders.
You may have seen it at halfpipe competitions or on the slopes of freeride competitions or simply in the chairlift queue and wondered what that (big) swallow-tailed board was?
This is the Cannon 2023, an iconic board with a history at Nitro but also, by its shape, in the memories of the old branches of our mountains.
So you might ask: what is this Cannon worth when it is put on?
Its huge nose and its Cam-Out camber give it a pronounced rocker and therefore impressive buoyancy. In addition, the Standard Core profile and Swallowtail will give you full control and perfect curves in deep snow. Its Bi-laminate edges will be very useful for your carves on and off the piste. This little ball of nerves will make you want to ski non-stop down all the slopes of your favourite mountain. Its Powercore II core provides stability and will prevent you from losing control even at full speed.
If you want to have fun and style on your snowboarding trips and get away from your usual twin riding habits, the Cannon 2023 will not disappoint you.


Turn radius/Sidecuts/Set back:
173 cm: 7.7/ 6.9 m / 300-255-292 mm / -25
203 cm: 9.7/ 8.9 m / 310-255-302 mm / -30
Camber:
Cam-Out (Cambre + Rocker): classic camber under the feet for the grip and dynamism associated with rocker boards, for float in powder and a board that is a little more tolerant than a classic camber board designed without rocker.
Shape:
Tapered Directional : Shape in which the tip is wider than the rear, making it easier to enter and exit turns, allowing for greater the stability at high speeds, and improved float.
Progressive Sidecut: Wider turn radius on the front of the board. Encourages increased acceleration at the end of a turn, while the nose reduces any bumps in the snow.
Width: Mid-Wide
Flex:
7/10 All-terrain - Rigid Flex. Versatile flex for guaranteed responsiveness and all-mountain pop.
Construction:
- Core:
PowerCore II : Poplar core reinforced with two beech stringers (wooden strips) from the nose to the tail of the board to increase rigidity and pop.
- Topsheet:
Bi-Lite Laminates: fibreglass applied in two directions perpendicularly to provide tolerance, precise snow feel and strength.
- Base
Sintered Speed Formula HD base: abrasion resistant sole with high wax absorption capacity for picking up speed quickly.
*Petite remarque avant de la mettre aux pieds : Quel look ! Cette board Cannon tape à l'œil. Si vous voulez passer inaperçu sur les pistes, c'est raté !
Cette board au shape Old school que Nitro nous a préparé est esthétiquement réussie.
En ce qui concerne la ride, cette Cannon est un plaisir en poudreuse. La queue d'hirondelle taillée en profondeur permet un contrôle de 100% dans les hors-pistes. La Cannon coupe la neige comme un couteau coupe du beurre. Les virages sont sans effort et la flottaison est exemplaire.
Sur piste la Cannon tient la route, les descentes sont agréables et l'accroche est bonne. Mais ce n’est pas sur piste que vous pourrez exploiter 100% de son potentiel.
Les Plus : L'accroche en neige profonde, le look !
Les Moins : R.A.S.
