The extended nose shape channels snow under the front of the board giving effortless lift and floart in the powder. This means you aren’t going to have to spend all day sat on your back foot. The Dual Degressive sidecut blends a smaller radius in the centre with two larger sidecuts at the tip and tail, this creates a board that is playful, but more importantly, when combined with the cam out camber it also delivers a more hook free ride ensuring that even on the iceist days, this is one board that’s not going to spit you off. To inspire confidence even further, the Drop adds Nitro’s Power Pods technology into the sidecut. These add additional traction points to the sidecut where the two different radius’s meet on the edge. This gives a more secure feel on the edge whilst reducing toe and heel drag.Profile: Cam-Out CamberCam-Out Camber is a traditional camber with early and smooth transitions into tip andtail. Those early rise tips allow snow to flow under the nose, reduce drag, and ensure the board comes onto the plane quickly and easily. The regular camber allows the rider to power up the sidecut across its entire length, creating a stable and reassuring ride on edge.Dual Degressive sidecutIn terms of sidecut, the Drop utilises the advanced Dual Degressive sidecut. This sidecut blends a smaller radius in the centre with two larger ones in the tip and tail, making it loose and playful—Nitro's most forgiving sidecut.ConstructionHeading up the Drop’s high-quality construction is Nitro’s advanced Powercore. This tip-to-tail poplar wood core combines strength, flex and response with a lightweight feel to deliver the perfect balance of strength, smooth response and insane snap. To give the Drop its more rider-friendly, surf-inspired feel, its structural layers are formed from torsionally softer bi-ax glass. This works in harmony with the lively core to give the Drop its combination of great performance but with a more surf inspired easier going feel.BaseSintered Speed Formula HD Base.
