This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Nitro Squash is a swallowtail board specialised for wide-open powder and down-the-line carving on groomers. Pop and drive are excellent, but its locked-in character puts it far from playful handling.
It's for advanced riders who enjoy technical precision.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Camber
A swallowtail board with traditional full camber running tip to tail. It feels very locked in and technical, demanding advanced skills.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A medium-stiff flex at 7 out of 10. The nose is soft, the centre medium to stiff and the tail stiff, producing dynamic pop.
