We have only just dipped our toes into 2012 and the 2013 products are already being anounced. Below are some of the biggest brands news snowbooarding stuff for 2013:

Nitro 2013.

We don’t change the right formula. in 2013 you’ll find the Nitro boards stuffed with the usuals sober and dark graphics. Continuity in the spirit but innovation in the products, with the new high-end Ultimate for example, a new T1.5 wich is a pimped T1, the Cinema – a Nitro with the Gullwing technology but still afoardable (349 €) – and for the girls, the new thing is the Spell, a very flexible park board.

 

K2 2013.

In 2013 K2 stuffs his boards with the Tweakend. This year’s Happy Hour haven’t been designed by Danny Larsen but featured a nice co-branding with Airblaster ! Sober and efficient united colors, black, green, yellow etc… depending on the size. The very new model is the UltraDream which is the ultimate backcountry gun, with huge nose and tail !

   

DC 2013.

We already presented the DC 2013 range in a previous article, but here are some more pics, for the Tone and the pro models, which are all about booze. Every rider got his own bottle, representative for his own local brew…

 
 

Burton 2013.

A new range just popped out at Burton for 2013, the Family Tree. It is composed of 9 boards of « new » freeride, from a mini split made with the nug technology in 148 to a new -more freeride oriented- kind of sick-stick called the Juice Wagon and developed by Stefan Maurer. But there are also some boards developed by Terje himself… If you like powder, you’ll be served. The Mr Nice Guy is back, followed in the restricted range by a brand new model, the Parkitect. The classics Custom, Custom X, Easy livin, Bullet, Clash etc… are still there ! As for the bindings, the new thing is the Genesis, a binding full of confort with a double-spoiler quite mysterious (see the pics below).

 

            

Ride 2013.

If we follow the tests you’re posting on Fluofun, you love the Ride Machete. Well, it’s back on 2013, joined by it’s big sister the Machete GT (a stronger version stuffed with carbon). There is also the Buck Wild with it’s design very fluo and veru fun, and this beautiful catch phrase : « I’m having more fun than you ». The Berzerker is still the pro model for Jake Blauvelt.

Forum 2013.

The classics are still there and the graphic of the Destroyer will make the peaople talk, once again, with real pictures of crime scenes (after the pictures of real prostitutes). The novelty of the season is the Kitchen Sink, a freestyle board with bi gnose and tail for the flotability in the powder. The Holy Moly, the signature model from Andreas Wii gis back with a new design… very Norwegian.

Gnu - Lib Tech 2013.

Travis Rice is still the spearhead of Lib Tech, with multiples signature models. Mark Landvik, the other star from The Art of Flight still got his model, the Lando. For Gnu, the last newness is the Impossible, a board full of very high technology which is supposed to work well. The B-Pro is co-branded with B4BC, will satisfied all the unicorn fans (like us for exemple).
