Description

Turbo-Charged Versatility

We’ve poured decades of experience shaping performance snowboards into this all-mountain charger. The Thruster is built on the lightest core in the Nidecker line, with a powerful camber profile and a super dense sintered base that minimises drag. From early morning corduroy to blower pow, it's a versatile speed machine featuring 3D design in the nose for super smooth edge changes. Added carbon dampens the ride even at terminal velocity.

  • SideKick technology lifts the Thruster's edges at the widest point of the nose for increased float in powder, smoother riding in rough terrain and effortless turn initiation.
  • The Thruster features our lightning quick N-9000 sintered base, made from super dense material with a high carbon content to minimise friction. Wax it regularly for race-level performance.
  • Full camber spring-loads the board from tip to tail, helping the whole edge maintain contact with the snow and boosting response.

Why Get A Wide Board

Choosing between a wide and regular snowboard depends on a few factors. For riders with larger feet (size 11 or up), a wide snowboard can prevent boot drag, offering better stability and reducing the chance of catching an edge.

The extra surface area also improves floatation in deep snow and enhances control, making for a more comfortable and stable ride.
