Camber
- POP CamRock ®

POP Camrock will give you all the pop in the world to ollie over anything that lays in your path and will help you dial in your entire trick bag. What we did was add a flat spot out-side the bindings toward the tip and tail that will allow you to load up your pop without sa¬crificing the playfulness of the Camrock design. The camber under you feet will allow for stability and responsiveness in all conditions and terrain types.

Shape
- Twin Tip

The twin-tip shape was designed with freestylers in mind. The nose and tail have exactly the same dimensions and the stance is centered, so the board performs equally well, regardless of your orientation. Built to allow riders to jib, spin, stomp, and butter, it gives you not just the pop you need, but the pop you want. Regular or switch, it doesn’t matter, it’s all the same.

Exclusive Nidecker
- Freeflex 1.0

By reducing the wood and fiberglass in the nose and tail, and by reinforcing them with lighter, yet stronger, materials such as carbon fiber and Kevlar, Free Flex technology allows us to lighten up the board significantly while increasing strength, durability, and pop. Free Flex also dam¬pens vibrations and provides a unique, light feel in turn tran-sitions, due to its reduced thic¬kness and profile.

- Ultimate Traction

BRAND NEW THIS YEAR! Following the 2005 invention of UG, the industry’s first traction enhancer, Nidecker, always wanting to stay on the cutting edge, took the next step and developed the revolutionary ULTIMATE TRACTION (UT). With UT, Nidecker’s engineers have taken serrated edges to ano¬ther level. By strategically positioning five bumps along the board’s effective edges instead of using a more conventional serration, we have created enhanced reactivity in all conditions. As a result, you will have more control of your board and way more fun!

- Better grip anytime, anywhere.
- More hold and less fatigue = better performance.
- Extra edge control and more reactivity on any mountain.

Core
- POP Core

This is the freestyle core of choice for our pro lineup. We added more ash in the nose and tail, and found the perfect combination of ma¬terials to give you more pop than any other snowboard offered today. The poplar and beech marriage is also a very lively and responsive core for all around riding.

Fiber
- Multiaxial

Nidecker’s exclusive light fiberglass, Triax, made with pride in Switzerland, incorporates a multi-layered, multi-axis fiberglass that is stitched together, resulting in a straight fiber laminate. Carbon fiber and Kevlar beams are incorporated in to the fiberglass, creating unequalled longitudi¬nal snap and liveliness.

- POP Carbon

The advantage of strategic carbon fiber placement in our boards allows for better response, and increased pop and stiffness. This is ideal for more aggressive riding, and it gives you a damper ride in all conditions.
