Dave McCaul here at The House talking about one of my favorite Nitro Boards the brand is making new in for ‘em. It’s called the Nitro Haze snowboard. What you’re looking at here is more affordable twin-tip, extremely soft flexing snowboard, but not an entry level deck like you normally would have. It definitely has some durability built into it as well.
You’ve got radial sidecut on this one. It’s really mellow, easy to predict, going to be really stable rolling flat base as well too. Really beefy sidewall and edge to this one. They are definitely thinking this one is going to be hitting up some metal, so they put the technology into deal with that. From there, sintered base, easy to take care, easy to repair, requires lots of waxing. And this one, it’s got a low camber to it. So very little rise to the center, almost flat, kind of like you’d see on some of the other snowboards around. Not quite a full-on camber, not a rocker snowboard either.
But like I said before, name of the game on this one is definitely the soft flex, but with durability. So, I mean you might see those entry-level decks that are super soft noodles, but you go to nose press and the nose folds up on you. This one definitely is going to be extremely durable. If I was rocking a lot of city rails in my older age, the Nitro Haze snowboard is the one of the top three contenders I would be on for sure.
Hey i’m stuck between the nitro haze and the Burton whammy bar, both are park but i like to drift away from the park a bit and hit the slopes at high speeds.
Both the Burton Whammy Bar and Nitro Haze are freestyle jib oriented snowboards; meaning that they have soft wood cores, and biax fiberglass. If you like riding the park (jumps & jibs) and like crusing at high speeds you could look into getting a slightly stiffer all mountain freestyle snowboards. If you want to stay within the Burton and Nitro brands check out the Burton Aftermath (https://www.the-house.com/9852btafm13zz-burton-snowboards.html) or the Nitro T1 (https://www.the-house.com/9853nit113zz-nitro-snowboards.html).
