2025 Nidecker The Mosquito Snowboard
The shortest model in Nidecker's surf-inspired quiver, the Mosquito is made for ripping into bottom turns, hacking lips and getting pitted. It’s a pow-focused craft that thrives when ridden off the back foot, but its nimble nature makes it surprisingly versatile. From January tree lines to icy groomers or spring slush, the Mosquito’s compact outline – combined with an aggressive sidecut – keeps you cornering on a dime. A Surfy Camrock profile features lively camber between the feet that merges seamlessly into an extended rocker at the nose, boosting float and helping you make it through the bumpiest of sections.
Like your favourite surf stick, it weighs next to nothing thanks to a poplar/paulownia core that’s the lightest in Nidecker's range. They've glassed this template with a unique combination of triax and biax fibres that deliver response and playfulness in equal measure, wrapping the topsheet around the rail in a precise build we call Nidactive Construction. Together with the slim ABS sidewall, this exclusive technology transfers even more power into the edge and provides a finish straight out of the shaping bay. See you out the back!
CAMBER PROFILE
- Surfy CamRock – Surfy CamRock delivers that special feeling of surfing on snow sought after by a new generation of freeriders. With a long rocker in the nose for optimal float and regular camber through the midsection and tail, it has all the reactivity you need to ride with lots of setback and a very short fish tail.
FLEX
- Flex Rating – 8/10 (1=Soft,10=Stiff)
SHAPE
- Fish Tail – Specially designed to sink the tail, this shape lets Nidecker drastically reduce the length of the board.
- Diamond Pow Nose – Nidecker extended the transition from the contact points in the nose to reduce overall size of the board and give it extra float.
CORE
- Exclusive Nidactive Sandwich – This next level construction steps up the power and response of Nidecker's standard sandwich manufacturing. Adding advanced materials like Carbon and Kevlar® gives the board more pop and improved shock absorption.
- Light Core - Nidecker's lightest core – featuring three different wood types. The Light Core is a perfect combination of paulownia for lightness, poplar for pop and responsiveness, and hardwood beech stringers along the edges to increase core durability, pop and protection from edge impacts.
LAMINATES
- Triax Plus – Oriented 45 degrees to the board and contains different glass densities. This provides consistent torsional flex, better pop, and more reactivity on every turn.
- Pop Carbon - Strategic placement of carbon fiber from the tail to the rear inserts, and from the nose to the front inserts, resulting in a more reactive board, with increased pop and stiffness. Its vibration dampening qualities make it ideal for more aggressive riding in all conditions.
BASE
- N-9000 – Produced with carbon nanoparticles, the N-9000 has a very dense molecular structure, which makes it our fastest, most durable base material.
TOPSHEET
- Absorbnid - Absorbnid is an innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. This allows us to develop responsive, dynamic boards that still give you a smooth and fatigue free ride.
GRAPHICS
- Matte Finish
BINDING COMPATIBILITY
- 2x4 - 6 Inserts – With 6 rows of inserts every 2 cm, this insert combination allows you to adjust your stance to the optimum position. Nidecker's reference stance is the second narrowest position.
