Nitro Alternator Snowboard 2024
Boardworks Breakdown:
This thing is an all-mountain ripper. If you love riding backcountry lines with freestyle influence, this is the board you want. Definitely recommend for an intermediate to advanced rider. While not overly aggressive, this thing can buck you if you don't ride with at least medium-confidence. Poppy, playful, holds and endge, floats in pow. It's a good time.

Camber
True Camber
True Camber is good old standard camber, which provides the stability, and pop many shreds can't live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivalled by any other camber design. Our True Camber varies between board models because each board is specifically designed for a certain terrain type of type of riding. For example, the True camber in our Pantera has a larger height for maximum response, while the True Camber in our freestyle boards are lower to provide you with a more freestyle friendly flex, without losing the support and trust you need for stomping landings. Camber is camber there is not point in overcomplicating it!
