24/25 · 23/24 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
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.
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
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.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
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.

For advanced to expert riders. Its technical, catchy character carries a high cost for mistakes, so it doesn't fit intermediates.
