Nitro Slash - 2011

Is this the coolest looking snowboard on the planet? Available in three sizes the 161 and 166 are heavily tapered pin tails while the 177 (yes that’s one hundred and seventy seven centimeters!) has the same uber tapered shape with a mini swallow tail. But it’s not just the shape and paint job that are rad; Nitro are using biaxial laminates and the Reflex core profile (thinner profile between the feet) meaning the Slash is easy to initiate into turns and super slashy and agile. Finally the Slash features Nitro’s freeride specific S-Gullwing profile, basically an early rise nose with camber in the tail, a similar profile to that used in the Burton Fish and Atomic Banger. Perfect for slashing, sticking drops and pumping that pow for extra speed.

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 a traditionally shaped, elongated nose to provide plenty of surface area for floating without making the board hard to turn in longer lengths. The set back stance gives a natural feeling in powder yet is versatile enough to carve up the groomers. The added bonus is the Gullwing camber making it even looser and more playful. This is the type of board that will transform your riding into what legends are made of.
