The Nidecker Play is perfectly suited for any terrain. Solid edge grip on the piste, great uplift in powder and a forgiving feeling for freestyle riding all over the mountain. A soft flex pattern makes the Play a snowboard for all levels of ability, but also allows for very easy edge changing at slightly higher speeds.
Riding style
An all-mountain/freestyle board for every beginner and all those who have not been in the snow for a longer time. Carving turns on the piste, surfing turns in the powder or creative runs from the park to the parking lot. With this board the good times never end.
Shape
With its directional twin shape, the Play is particularly easy to control, making the very first turns a breeze. The Directional Twin shape has the advantage that the nose gets a little longer due to the offset of the bindings towards the tail (setback), giving you more uplift in powder. However, the shape of the nose and tail remain symmetrical, which means that even switch riding is no problem.
Profile
The Freestyle CamRock construction with a rocker in nose and tail and a flat between the bindings provides stability, confidence and fast progress. This keeps the board extremely manoeuvrable in the pow and gives it enormous lift. The camber also offers you good edge hold and fast power transmission.
Flex
The soft-medium flex lets you make easy turns and guarantees plenty of fun and a comfortable rides at all times and in all terrains, whether you're in the park, on the power or piste, or anywhere in between.
Construction
The standard solid wood core of poplar and beech inserts is resistant and scores with flex and pop. Nidecker's classic sandwich construction made of high quality materials makes sure that you can do something great with this snowboard. The N5000 Universal base is very resistant, user-friendly and offers good gliding properties even without waxing. Even scratches can be repaired relatively easily.
