This is the perfect board for those who are a little younger, but still need a good performance board. The Nitro Ripper is a soft, playful and forgiving snowboard with Flat-out Rocker and Soft Ride Flex. It has a Twin shape which allows for riding in both directions and helps to develop riding in both the park and on the pistes. The Ripper is equipped with Radial sidecut which allows the board to transfer easily from edge to edge. With the Premium Extruded base you keep the glide for a long time without having to wax or maintain it too frequently.
If you want to develop your riding, you should take the help of Nitro Ripper! The board is waxed and tuned at the factory, ready for the mountain. Watch the video below where Nitro presents the Ripper.
