Best all-mountain/powder performance for big riders - the Magnum from Nitro
The Nitro Magnum is the best wide board on the market because it was designed to ride like a normal width snowboard. Crafted for larger riders and bigger feet, this board design reduces toe and heel drag without compromising an ounce of performance or feel. The directional shape allows for more float in pow, while the Dual Degressive sidecut and the Power Pods provide a carving sensation that you have never experienced before.
Riding Style
This wide board is suited for large riders and allows you to continue to step your game up all over the mountain. Best performance for deep carving turns on the groomers, more float in the powder.
Shape
The nose of the directional shape is slightly longer than the tail. The bindings and the sidecut are slightly set back towards the tail. This increases stability at higher speeds and the float in powder. The Dual Degressive Sidecut blends a smaller radius in the centre with two larger radii in the tip and tail, making the board playful and easier to control. The Power Pods are an extended board width under the bindings, for additional edge grip.
Profile
Nitro's Cam-Out Camber is basically a traditional Camber profile with early and smooth transitions into Tip and Tail. The result is a fun and responsive board that turns on the spot and is forgiving.
Flex
The medium-stiff flex provides you with a lively board that allows you to stay in control at all speeds and pop over everything.
Construction
The Powerlite Core is made of lightweight, selected poplar wood for massive pop and unrivalled stability at minimum weight. The Reflex Core Profile is a thinner core profile between your feet that improves handling and increases the torsional flex. The Sintered Speed Formula HD Base offers higher abrasion resistance, increased wax absorption and higher on-snow speeds.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.

About Nitro
Nitro was founded by two heavy duty snowboarders, who were disappointed by the selection of snowboard gear available to them. From day one, Nitro's focus has been on nothing but snowboarding and they are dead set on keeping it that way. Together with a star dusted team, Nitro's goal is to bring people together. With the help of snowboard events for kids, youths and adults, their plan for the next few years is to bring back the stoke and love for snowboarding around the world.
