Issue #1 went on sale in May 1993, and from that first issue of 48 pages, New Zealand Snowboarder has grown dramatically over the past 15 years. Respected internationally for its quality of production, and editorial and photographic integrity, New Zealand Snowboarder has established itself as the number one selling Snowboard magazine in New Zealand. The key to this success comes from the passion of its editorial staff, all whom are active snowboarders, and the world-class photographers and editorial contributors who make up the content of each issue.
