All freestyle boards

First up is the infamous Nitro Team Snowboard. Just check out the roster of riders on Nitro and what they do with this board, and you’ll know why it’s been in Nitro’s line-up for more than 10 years already! Trüe Camber profile gives you stability and pop all over the mountain, but it’s not so stiff to make it impossible to press. Blue Tomato’s own Dominik Wagner uses this board for all mountain freestyle approaches, and you know he’s a jibber through and through.

Second in our list is the Rome Snowboards RK1 Stale. This special edition of the Rome Mod in 156 comes with Stale Sandbech’s Pro-Model graphics, other than that it’s the same tech as the regular Mod, which also offers more sizes. To put it short: This board is a powerhouse! Stay Positive Camber all the way through, Stale takes this board from 100ft jumps to backyard jibs. So you know it works on every obstacle you want to put it on! Just make sure you can handle the massive pop this stick packs!

Your favourite snowboarder’s favourite snowboarder Halldor Helgason is one of the founders of Lobster Snowboards. No wonder he put a name on one their boards and the Lobster Halldor Pro does not disappoint! The loosest snowboarder in the business decided he wants a medium flexing, yet stable ride to go bananas from the streets to backcountry booters. Note that Lobster uses 3BT on all their boards, to enhance float, turn faster and make them a little more forgiving on those not-so-clean landings.
