"A snowboard built for one of the most progressive riders on the planet"
Some snowboards are designed to help you have a nice day on the mountain.
The Nitro Team Pro Marcus Kleveland is not one of those boards.
This is a snowboard built around the riding of Marcus Kleveland - one of the most creative, powerful, and technical snowboarders ever to step into a contest. And it rides exactly how you’d expect: fast, precise, explosive, and absolutely unapologetic.
I’ve spent time on this board, and it’s very clear who it’s for - and who it isn’t.
Marcus Kleveland’s influence - and why it matters
Marcus doesn’t ride cautiously. He rides with speed, intent, and control that borders on ridiculous. The way he approaches jumps, landings, and transitions demands a board that:
-
holds an edge no matter how hard you load it
-
stays stable at speed
-
snaps with authority
-
doesn’t fold when you land deep or off-axis
The Team Pro MK is built around that reality.
This isn’t just a pro model with a name stamped on it. The flex, the camber, the materials - all of it is tuned for a rider who expects total control, even when things get sketchy.
That DNA comes through immediately when you put it on snow.
How it rides: powerful, precise, confidence-fuelled
The first thing you notice is the response. This board reacts instantly to input. When you load it up, it pushes back hard - in the best possible way.
The camber profile gives you serious pop and edge hold. This is the kind of board that begs to be ridden with commitment. Half measures don’t really work here — but if you ride it properly, it rewards you massively.
At speed, it’s rock solid. No chatter, no nervousness. You can point it, trust it, and focus on what’s coming next rather than what the board is doing under your feet.
In the park, it feels like a weapon. Jumps feel stable on take-off and incredibly composed on landings - even when you don’t quite get things perfect. It’s clearly built for riders who hit bigger features and want a board that keeps up.
And yes - it absolutely loves being ridden switch. This is still a true twin at heart, just turned up to eleven.
Not just a park board
Despite its contest-ready feel, the Team Pro MK isn’t a one-trick pony.
On groomers, it carves beautifully. That camber gives you proper edge engagement, and the board feels locked in through turns. It’s the sort of ride that makes you seek out clean corduroy just to feel it load and release.
Off the side of the piste, it handles mixed conditions confidently. It’s not a powder specialist, but for a true twin, it copes surprisingly well when things get a bit deeper or chopped up.
This is a board you can ride hard all over the mountain, not just between park laps.
Who this board is really for
Let’s be clear, this is not a beginner board.
You’ll get the most out of the Nitro Team Pro Marcus Kleveland if you:
-
ride confidently and aggressively
-
like camber and understand how to use it
-
hit jumps, ride fast, and push your limits
-
want a board that won’t hold you back as you progress
If you’re an advanced rider or a strong intermediate with ambitions, this board will grow with you for years.
If you want something forgiving or mellow, this isn’t it - and that’s kind of the point.
Why it’s worth the money
This is one of the most technical and refined boards in Nitro’s entire range — and it feels like it.
Everything about it feels premium:
-
the materials
-
the damping
-
the pop
-
the stability
You’re paying for a board that’s built to perform at the highest level, designed alongside a rider who regularly pushes snowboarding forward.
If you ride enough, and you ride hard enough, the value makes sense.
Final thoughts
The Nitro Team Pro Marcus Kleveland 25/26 isn’t trying to be friendly, and it isn’t trying to please everyone.
It’s a snowboard designed to be ridden with intent.
If you want a board that feels fast, powerful, and incredibly precise - something that makes you want to ride better just to keep up with it - this is an outstanding choice.
This is the kind of snowboard that reminds you how good modern board design can be when it’s done properly.
