Nidecker The Smoke Snowboard

The Nidecker The Smoke Snowboard offers a directional design aimed at riders seeking precision across varied terrain. Its Surfy CamRock profile combines a classic camber underfoot with progressive rockers in the tips, providing maneuverability and flotation. The rigid flex ensures reliable grip on hard snow and immediate response in aggressive turns. A generous effective edge length guarantees optimal support during carved turns.
