- Flex Rating: 7/10 (Medium-Stiff) – Responsive and stable for advanced riders who demand precision and control across variable terrain.
Shape
- Directional Shape – A slightly longer nose and shorter tail for improved float and stability in all-mountain and freeride conditions.
- Progressive Sidecut – A larger radius in the front blends into a tighter one toward the tail, making acceleration out of turns effortless and keeping the nose catch-free through carves and variable terrain.
- Designed by Tommy Delago – Precision-engineered to deliver Nitro’s signature carving performance and natural board feel.
Core
- Power Core – Full-length tip-to-tail poplar wood provides the perfect balance of lightweight strength, smooth flex, and dependable response underfoot.

Laminates

Sidewalls
- ABS Sidewalls – Flexible and impact-resistant sidewalls provide reliable edge durability while absorbing vibrations for a smoother ride.
Base
- Sintered EcoSpeed HD Base – A high-density, environmentally friendly compound engineered for exceptional durability, superior wax retention, and maximum speed in all snow conditions.
- 100% Natural Speed Wax – Factory-tuned with biodegradable, renewable natural wax for fast glide and reduced environmental impact.
Inserts
- 2x4 Insert Pattern – Industry-standard mount pattern offers versatile stance options and compatibility with all major bindings.
Environmental Responsibility
