25/26 season review
The 2026 Nitro Alternator is an all-mountain quiver-killer with powerful pop and responsiveness based on true camber, optimised for aggressive advanced riders. It performs highly across all terrain from groomers to powder, park and backcountry, and the combination of carbon tape and a lightweight poplar wood core realises excellent stiffness and light weight at once.
It suits riders combining freestyle and freeride who enjoy speed and strong edge pressure.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
A True Camber construction maximising stability, pop and edge grip, with excellent snap and support, providing camber's characteristic responsiveness.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
An aggressive, stiff flex providing strong pop and high responsiveness. A Reflex core profile thins the core between the feet, improving handling and torsional flex for precise turns.

Advanced
A board for advanced riders with an aggressive style; high responsiveness, strong pop and quick edge transitions suit advanced riders rather than beginners and intermediates.
What the review liked
- ✓Excellent pop, snap and edge grip based on true camber
- ✓The dual degressive sidecut gives it a loose, playful handling feel
- ✓V-shaped carbon tape reinforces torsional stiffness and responsiveness
- ✓A long nose and short tail shape give it excellent powder float

What the review found lacking
- —An aggressive character that's hard for beginner and intermediate riders to handle
- —An all-mountain board, so park performance is limited compared with a park-specific board
