2023 Nitro Squash Snowboard
The Nitro Squash's now-legendary ride is so unique we have created a new category – PowGroomer, because its swallowtail shape floats like a boat, carves like a pro, and catches airtime like an eagle. Its versatility in both the powder and on the groomers is so well-rounded that Squash has won multiple prestigious awards, become Nitro's of our most popular board models, and now has its category.
This award-winning versatile snowboard provides the best of both worlds, unparalleled float in the powder, and a turn so nice it will make you never want to leave the groomers. Therefore, we are officially starting a new category for the Squash – The PowGroomer category, where boards built for powder and carving groomers belong. The Squash´s perfect blend of a Progressive Sidecut and Trüe Camber allows you to lay into carves like you do it for a living. In addition, the Tapered Swallowtail Shaped will enable you to charge with finesse through the choppiest of conditions, while the Sintered Speed Formula HD Base will allow you to get out of the flats with ease and speed. So if you are looking for a snowboard to have fun on during the deepest of days or the most regular of days, then check out the Squash, a board that offers the best ride in everyone’s favorite conditions, powder and groomers!
Camber Profile
Trüe Camber – Good old standard camber, which provides the stability and pop many shreds can't live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivaled by any other camber design.
Flex
7/10
Directional All Terrain – Nitro's most versatile flex pattern combines Nitro's signature pop with smooth response for tearing up the entire mountain.
Shape
Mid-Wide Waist
Tapered Swallowtail
Progressive Sidecut – A larger radius in the front blends into a tighter radius towards the tail. The progressive sidecut makes accelerating out of turns a breeze, while maintaining a catch-free nose area.
Core
Power Core II – A tip-to-tail poplar wood core with beech wood stringers offers unrivaled strength, smooth response, and insane snap.
Laminates
Bi-Lite Laminates – Nitro's rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for a powerful riding style and a refined board-feel.
Base
Sintered Speed Formula HD Base – Nitro utilizes a new base material compound to achieve higher abrasion resistance, increased wax absorption, and higher on-snow speeds.
