24/25 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Wolle Nyvelt Fish, part of Salomon's Hillside Project, is a board for riders wanting to enjoy powder and carving at once, with a camber-based construction and a relatively soft flex that make it usable broadly from intermediates to advanced riders. Float and agility in deep powder are excellent, and hardpack performance is also good for its class of powder board.
Recycled materials and a fast base under $1,000 make its value very high.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
Close to traditional camber, with camber running nearly to the tail and a short tail. There's a degree of flex in the tail too, so it isn't a fully rigid camber.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
Comparatively soft for a powder/fish board of its type. Unlike ultra-stiff powder boards, it has flex in the tail too, making it easy to handle.
Terrain suggested in the review
Rider levels suggested in the review
Intermediate · Advanced
It suits intermediates who can make proper turns through advanced riders. Unlike many comparable powder boards that lose performance on hardpack, its comparatively soft flex means intermediates can handle it well. It isn't suited to beginners.
What the review liked
- ✓A multi-purpose powder board that lets you enjoy powder and carving at once
- ✓A softer flex than comparable powder boards delivers respectable performance on hardpack too
- ✓A lively, agile ride feel provides excellent float in deep powder
- ✓Recycled ABS sidewalls and a fast sintered base under $1,000 make for excellent value
