Nitro Slash - 2012

You’re in Hokkaido, Japan in January and it’s puking powder, do you (A) dig out your delaminating jib stick, or (B) unsheathe the Nitro Slash at the bottom of your board bag? If you answered (A) I am afraid there is no hope for you. With its fish shape (heavy taper and long nose) and its surf inspired flex the Slash will make dreams of Kelly Slater cut-backs in chin deep powder a reality. This year the Slash is available with Gullwing camber for a more nimble feel and the 181 comes with a Swallow tail!

Manufacturer's Description:

The Slash is for those riders who want to flow with the whole mountain, pumping each piece of tranny for more speed and more power. Just like a big wave surfer or pool skater the shape of the Slash is designed to enhance your riding and your experience. It has elongated nose to provide plenty of surface area for floating without making the board hard to turn in longer length. The set back stance gives a natural feeling in power yet is versatile enough to carve up the groomers. The added bonus is the Gullwing camber making it even loose and more playful. This is the type of board that will transform your riding into what legends are made of.
