The board makes for spectacular freeriding, but there seem to be durability issues with this snowboard for this year.

The sidewall is made of this clear material that seems to crack under a combination of cold weather and high stress. After this, the board will start to delaminate in this area. Another issue is that the diecut base may tear off, for seemingly no reason.

Nitro honored their warranty.
