22/23 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Nitro Cannon is a large swallowtail board specialised for speed and powder. Cam-Out camber adds forgiveness to the stability of positive camber, and high-speed running and float are overwhelming.
In exchange, it's a special-purpose board that gives up low-speed handling and everyday practicality.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
Nitro's Cam-Out Camber — traditional positive camber with the contact points mellowed to add forgiveness at low speed. A large swallowtail shape reduces the effective edge, so it handles well for its length.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Nitro's Directional All Terrain flex pattern, on the stiffer side of medium. It's stable at speed with pop alive and maintains hardpack edge hold.
