This snowboard is a real marvel and one of a kind. I ride a couple other swallow tails from Jones and wanted something that sits between the Storm Wolf performance/stiffness and the short form factor and nimbleness of the Storm Chaser. The mosquito did exactly that and exceeded my expectations in the process. Don't get fooled by its shape, this is a short fat freeride board, not a mellow little snowsurf. It's stiff, almost full camber, very nimble and handles speed extremely well for its size. It is a pretty agressive ride for advanced riders and up, but one thing I really love about the mosquito that none of my other freeride boards do is that it's fun at both low and high speeds. Even though it turns on a dime and has a short turning radius, you can still straightline it and charge with it when you need to. It chews through pow like you'd expect from its shape and it's happiest in medium to steep slopes for that. Carving performance is top tier if you like across the groomer carves. My favorite was probably taking this in springy slush. Finally, one thing that surprised me about this board is how well it handles medium jumps and side hits. For a board with such a tiny tail you can get some real air and land things confidently.

If you're like me and you enjoy boards with very short tails and tide everything your resort has to offer, I'd strongly consider adding the mosquito to your quiver. It's a very unique board and fills a niche in the freeride surfy shapes no other do.

The snow has barely started to fall, but I already know I’m gonna like it. I’m a fan of your product to begin with.

Amazing for fast short carves on groomers and fast medium turns in powder. I will never ride a different board again.

Ripped this board down some early season steeps at copper and the edge made carving and moguls a breeze. It was also wide enough to let me bomb the hills and not feel unstable whatsoever. Wish I could compare it to other boards in the snow surf quiver but I love this board so far especially compared to my nidecker escape.

Haven�t even taken it in the powder yet and still really like it. It turns well, really well. Was a little skeptical that I could down size from a 162 to a 152 but, I definitely don�t miss those 10 cm. I did slide my bindings closer to the heel edge so I wouldn�t boot out on toe side carves. For dedicated carving I would want a bit wider or to go positive angles with both feet. For a powder board it checks all the boxes for me. 6�2 200lbs and 10.5 US.

I don�t buy gear base on looks but oh man does this board define gorgeous!! She has a mellow disposition that can make you feel relaxed and loose and two turns later display the depths of her power and precision. She even handles ok going switch. Unless you drive her into a deep carve in snow when one of her ponytail fins can dig in and bucks you into the snow. One of my goals for the year was to ride more funner and this board insures and inspires just that.

Un jouet indispensable � avoir dans son quiver . Carver incroyable , le meilleur outil dans la neige traffol�e et malgr� une taille r�duite , une super arme dans la poudre . On a tout simplement l�impression de surfer dans l�eau . On adore et tous ceux � qui j�ai fait essayer sont addicts . J�aime la glisse en g�n�ral ,

I bought the board for pow and groomer surfing - it also carves great!
Not a high speed charger due to the effective edge, but easily fast enough for the resort.

The conditions were end of the season west coast spring slush without the ice and this board tore it up. From the first couple turns you could tell this was something special, my wife said I have never looked so comfortable on a board. I am 6�3� and normally ride a 163 so the short size of the mosquito, I have a 152, made it super playful and turns happened telepathically, I was never fighting the board. Carving was tight and snappy. The short tail really gave you a lot of feedback.

You never know what you are going to get with a new board, especially when you buy online, but this one exceeded expectations. As a life long surfer they really nailed the feeling, can�t wait to get back on this board

The Nidecker Mosquito is the best board I've ever ridden:
- Very fast and easy turns;
- Stiffness to work out all the bumps;
- Despite the short length it is possible to do eurocarves;
- Great floatation in a powder.
It combines opposite things - great control and fun.
I ride the 152cm (my weight is 77kg).
The only downside is that the metal tip on the tail fell off in the first season and the board had to be returned.
