Nitro Men's Squash Snowboard 2024

New shape more fun!
The new Nitro Squash has received a new and improved swallowtail shape to allow for more float on those precious pow days. At the same time, the legendary progressive side-cut makes carving like a pro the new norm while navigating the entire trail map. This award-winning board model is for any snowboarder looking to have more fun on a shaped board without sacrificing the fundamentals needed to be your daily driver.

Profile: Camber

Precision, control and pop. The side profile of camber looks like a rainbow. Tried and true, camber has been the dominant board bend in the snowboard industry for almost 40 years. Adopted from the bend of alpine skis, camber snowboards deliver precise turning and edge control, with spring-loaded pop due to the bend in the board, providing better jumping characteristics. Advanced riders tend to prefer this bend, especially for hard carving and high-speed riding. Even when it comes to softer park snowboards, camber boards deliver exceptional pop and control. However, they are not as forgiving of mistakes and can be more difficult to learn or progress on than a rocker or hybrid bend.

          

Shape: Directional Tapered

Directional tapered boards excel in a pure mountain environment. The tail sinks in pow for better float and quicker turns. A directional shape with a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail get taken to the next level with a tapering design—which sees a wider nose tapering into a narrower tail. The advantages are two-fold: this shape not only sees mega-enhanced floatation with a surfy feel in deep powder, it also creates a faster turning snowboard which is noticeably more nimble and great for tree riding.

Flex: 7 (Scale 1-10)

Responsive Flex. Power. Precision. Control.

Base: Sintered
