Squash 2023
The Nitro Squash 2023 is an all-mountain board for men of advanced level who are looking for an ultra versatile board with a big tendency towards freeride without leaving the park kickers behind. But how is this possible? We'll explain everything in the following description of the Nitro Squash.
Developed by the co-founder of Nitro, Tommy Delago in collaboration with the brand's pro-riders, Austin Smith and Bryan Fox, the Squash is a true versatile, all-mountain snowboard. Now available in many sizes, the Squash is for everyone! The Squash has a True Camber classic camber, which is precise and grips well. The setback allows for easy turning and in addition, the swallowtail was born for the powder.
But don't be fooled by its resolutely freeride shape, because the Squash also offers assets that will delight seasoned freestylers who want a reactive and precise board in the park In addition, its 7/10 flex and its Powercore II reinforced by beech stringers gives pop and response to the Squash. Austin Smith even rides it in switch and pulls off his kicks without sticking the tail in!
The most agressive board that is also just as versatile as a Team board, the Squash 2023 s ideal for riders who want to go fast and who give their all whether on a kick, a carve or in a simple freeride line.

Camber:
Trüe Camber (classic camber without rocker): classic camber under the feet for grip, dynamism and support under the edge. A good camber guarantees stability and maximum pop. There is one camber, and that's it!
Shape:
Tapered Swallowtail : Wider than the tail to improve handling and steering of the board. The swallowtail allows the back of the board to plunge into the depths of the powder for to effortlessly glide through powder.
Progressive Sidecut: Wider turn radius at the front of the board. Encourages increased acceleration at the end of a turn, while the nose reduces any bumps in the snow.
Width: Mid-Wide
Flex:
7/10 All-terrain - Rigid Flex. Versatile flex for guaranteed responsiveness and all-mountain pop.
Construction:
- Core
PowerCore II: Poplar core reinforced with two beech stringers (wooden strips) from the nose to the tail of the board to increase rigidity and pop.
- Topsheet:
Bi-Lite Laminates: fibreglass applied in two directions perpendicularly to provide tolerance, precise snow feel and strength.
- Base
Sintered Speed Formula HD base: abrasion resistant sole with high wax absorption capacity for picking up speed quickly.
Grande polyvalence avec la Squash 2023 ? Effectivement c'est le cas! Mais attention elle n'est pas donnée à tout le monde. La Squash 2023 avec son cambre classique sans rocker demande une certaine dose de maîtrise technique pour être utilisée en freestyle car elle ne donne pas beaucoup le droit à l'erreur, surtout sur les replaques bien damées.
Bien rigide, la Squash permet d'envoyer dans les cartes comme dans la poudre. Le Swallowtail joue bien son rôle dans la neige fraîche en rendant la planche ultra-directive tandis que l'accroche ne fait jamais défaut sur piste. La Squash 2023 s'avère être une excellente board à tout faire pour rider de bon niveau.
Les Plus : polyvalence, précisions et ride agressif.
Les Moins : R.A.S.
