The board performs well. I'm really pleased the way itvrides. But as mentioned by others the quality of the top layer is crap. Due to moisture the board is delaminating. It is my third Nidecker board. I had a Salomon in between and never those problems. Despite the 3 year warranty Nidecker does not compensate. They say the damage is due to impact. Although that is clearly not the case. Really disappointing if you see a lot of people have the same experience. The pictures show there hasn't been impact.

I was shocked how the snowboard carved through the snow, on snow and ice, and powder. . . . everything that does it does so perfectly ! i highly recommend it !

Really nice look and ride although I would like some more quality (please make a board made in Swiss )

Echoing the comments of previous reviewers - I'm a big guy, and so the larger, wider board was great. The feeling riding it compared to my older, smaller Rossignol, was top notch - more secure, faster, and the flex made for excellent carving even on the steepest slopes. However, after only 5 days of use, it looks like an old board on the top, particularly in the wood veneer at the tail. There are several big chips and it looks like the veneer will peel away steadily from the tail end. I got my ten year old board out to check its condition and the top looks like new (let's not talk about the base, but that's my fault). A shame the top sheet is so (literally) flaky because otherwise this would be a fie star review.

This the first board I have owned after riding rentals for the past couple of years. It rides fine for my ability level and I'm generally happy with it, however I am disappointed with its durability. After only 3 days of resort riding I observed that the tail was starting to absorb moisture on the wood veneer top sheet and starting to delaminate and chip. By the end of the week there was a sizeable chip on the heel side near the centre of the board, again on the wood veneer. I was not involved in any collisions and only rode on piste in good conditions. Yes you expect some bumps and scrapes when battling skiers in the lift queues but I feel this material is not fit for purpose.
