The Nitro Alternator is a board that keeps the old-school full camber feel intact. Satisfaction from ollies and turns is high and it covers carving, high speed and spring snow broadly, but it demands precise handling. It's for advanced riders who want authentic camber feel.
Base shape (camber)
Camber
Uncompromising positive camber. With no side lift or early rise, it's actually more technical and catches an edge more readily than other boards that claim full camber.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
A medium flex at 6 out of 10. It feels softer on snow than in the hand, producing pop and chatter absorption through rubbery elasticity rather than sheer stiffness.
Where it shines
Who it suits
For advanced to expert riders. Its technical, catchy character carries a high cost for mistakes, so it doesn't fit intermediates.
Good
- ✓Outstanding pop with good spring coming out of turns
- ✓Good turn balance with fast edge-control response
- ✓Strong carving and high-speed ability
- ✓Powder capability is surprisingly decent for full camber
Not so good
- —Technical and catchy, with a narrow margin for error
- —Few size options
- —Only 5x2 inserts per foot limits stance adjustment range
- —Base glide lags behind competing models
