Head snowboard: performance, innovation and heritage

A brand born from engineering and passion for the mountains

Head is an iconic company in the world of winter sports. Founded in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1950 by an aeronautical engineer named Howard Head, the brand has established itself as a key player in skiing and snowboarding. Surprised by the harshness of wooden skis during a winter sports trip, Howard Head imagined a modern ski inspired by materials used in aeronautics. At the time, he worked for the Glenn L. Martin Company, specialized in manufacturing airplanes from aluminum and laminated plastic. He foresaw that these materials could transform sliding equipment.

After two years of research, he developed a revolutionary ski that was both strong, lightweight, and flexible, facilitating turns and resisting mechanical stresses. Technical innovation has since become the hallmark of Head.

Head snowboard: the same quality standards as skiing

Since its beginnings in skiing, the brand has expanded its expertise to other disciplines. Today, Head also manufactures snowboards designed for both beginners and advanced riders. Thanks to cutting-edge technology, Head boards stand out for their maneuverability, durability, and riding comfort. Whether for leisure or competition, every Head snowboard benefits from the brand’s technological heritage.

Cutting-edge technologies for snowboarders

• Hybrid Camber DCT: this technology combines classic camber and rocker, offering both high-speed stability and ease of pivot at low speeds.
• Graphene: an ultra-light and strong material integrated into some models to reduce weight without compromising performance.
• Extruded base: used on many models to ensure smooth gliding and easy maintenance.
• Poplar Wood Core: a poplar wood core that brings responsiveness and dynamism to the board while maintaining excellent flexibility.

A snowboard for every riding style

The range of Head snowboards includes several models adapted to styles and skill levels. Whether you are a freestyle enthusiast, a freeride lover, or passionate about snowpark, you will find a board designed to meet your needs. Beginner boards offer more forgiveness and stability, while expert models focus on precision and responsiveness.

• Freestyle: shorter, softer boards for easy tricks in the park.
• Freeride: longer, often directional snowboards for excellent flotation in powder.
• All-mountain: versatile models that allow riding everywhere without compromise.

Complete equipment for an optimal experience

Beyond snowboards, Head also produces equipment such as snowboard boots and bindings. Designed for precise fit, these accessories ensure better energy transfer between the body and the board. Ergonomics, lightness, and durability are central to product development, focused on performance and comfort.

A commitment to sliding sports

While Head was a pioneer in skiing since 1950, it successfully transferred this expertise to snowboarding with the same rigor. Combining tradition, innovation, and passion, the brand continues to inspire generations of riders.
