24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The 2026 Nitro Girls Arial is a twin-shaped board for youth women riders in the transition from kids' boards to adult boards, providing a stable, forgiving ride experience through cambered-underfoot construction and a radial sidecut. It has an all-mountain leaning usable in both park and groomers, and it's specialised for learning first tricks and linking turns.
It's a lightweight, highly durable board that can also be recommended to smaller adult riders.

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A Cam-Out camber profile based on camber underfoot with Early Lift applied at the nose and tail. The centre camber provides stability and pop, while the rocker elements at both ends support forgiving riding.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A soft, flexible flex for youth and smaller riders. It's light and poppy, with flex characteristics that make learning tricks and linking turns easy.

What the review liked

- ✓Early-rise nose and tail make learning tricks and linking turns easy
- ✓The radial sidecut provides consistent, predictable edge hold
- ✓A Power Core (poplar wood) secures light weight and durability at once
- ✓Recycled stainless steel edges improve durability in an eco-conscious design
What the review found lacking
- —The extruded base is soft, so speed can be somewhat lower than a sintered base on fast descents
- —Its youth-specific design makes it unsuitable for advanced riders or aggressive riding styles
