Board Type: Freeride - Powder
Freeride snowboards are built for steeper, off-piste terrain. They have a directional shape, a stiffer flex for stability, and usually camber or hybrid camber profiles for precision and control. These boards are ideal for aggressive riding and usually for more advanced riders.
Powder snowboards are designed for deep snow, featuring a directional shape with a tapered tail for better float. The nose will be wider and longer to glide effortlessly through fresh powder.
Flex: 7/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.
Ability Level: Advanced
Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks.
Shape: Tapered Swallowtail
A tapered directional snowboard features a shape where the tail is narrower than the nose, providing enhanced control and stability in deeper snow. This design improves floatation in powder and allows for smoother turns, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry riding. While it excels in one direction, the taper helps the board naturally guide you through challenging conditions.
Camber Type: True Camber
The original camber type, unmatched for strong snap and powerful response. Each True Camber board in the Nitro range has it's own special tweak to suit its intended terrain type, keeping the camber shape with a more specialised ride.
Profile: Standard Core Profile
The Standard Core Profile features a thicker section in the middle, extending from the first insert to the last, while gradually thinning toward the contact points. This design delivers exceptional speed, stability, and edge control.
Width: Mid-Wide, Wide
Mid-wide boards offer slightly increased width, reducing toe and heel drag, enhancing flotation, and boosting confidence when leaning into powerful carves.
Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot.
Sidecut: Progressive Sidecut
A larger radius sidecut in the nose that blends into a tighter radius in the tail, keeping your turns fast and catch-free.
Inserts: 2x4 Inserts
These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.
Board Construction
Laminate: Bi-Lite Laminates
Bi-Lite Laminates have fibres running in two directions, providing strength, power, and a forgiving board feel.

A performance driven core with tip to tail Poplar wood and additional Beech Wood stringers. The result: Unmatched strength, smooth response, and a tonne of snap.
