Nitro Prolight - 2009

Summary:

The Prolight is Nitro’s premium all-mountain freestyle ride. Stuffed full of high tech features like the Nanotech Formula II sintered base, Pentalight (Prepreg) laminates and Basalt rock fibres, the Prolight will charge the gnarliest of shoots and stick choppy landings.

Manufacturer's Description:

The Prolight was built to be genetically advanced from its base to its core, to take your riding to a new level of speed and confidence. The shape and flex of this board make it very versatile for all- mountain ripping. The new nanotech sintered speed formula II base is tuned for max durability and to be lightning fast in all snow conditions. The Powerlight core combined with Pentalight laminates makes for an unbelievably lightweight board without being twitchy at mach speeds or landings. New for 2010 are the integrated rock bands, additional fibers extracted from basalt rock, adding strength and more snap off the lip or speed out of a turn.
