Nidecker Thruster Snowboard 2026

We’ve poured decades of experience shaping performance snowboards into this all-mountain charger. The Thruster is built on the lightest core in the Nidecker line, with a powerful camber profile and a super dense sintered base that minimises drag. From early morning corduroy to blower pow, it's a versatile speed machine featuring 3D design in the nose for super smooth edge changes. Added carbon dampens the ride even at terminal velocity.

• Construction  -  Premium Sandwich - A step up from our standard sandwich construction that adds carbon stringers for more pop, quicker edge response and improved shock absorption.
• Topsheet  -  Absorbnid - An innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. Enjoy a smooth ride with less fatigue.
• Inserts  -  4x2/6 - 6 rows of inserts at 2 cm intervals gives you maximum choice of stance width and works with any binding on the market.
• Fiberglass  -  Triax Plus - Fiberglass is woven in three directions at 45° for max stiffness. The result of extensive testing, Triax Plus uses different glass densities above and below the core to deliver more consistent torsional flex, better pop, and lightning response.
• Core  -  Light Core - An ultra lightweight core based on a lively combination of poplar and paulownia. Hardwood beech stringers down the centre enhance the overall strength and boost pop.
• Base  -  N-9000 Sintered - A lightning quick sintered base made from super dense material with a high carbon content to minimise friction. Wax it on the regs for race-level performance.
• Added Carbon  -  Pop Carbon - Carbon fiber is positioned between the inserts and the nose and tail – boosting ollie power and dampening chatter.
• 3D Shaping  -  SideKick - SideKick lifts your edges at the widest points of the nose and tail resulting in increased float in powder, smoother riding in rough terrain and effortless turn initiation.
• Flex  -  Stiff
• Shape and Profile  -  Camber - Positive camber spring-loads the board tip to tail, maximizing edge contact and response. The industry standard for high performance models, it offers an unbeatable balance of stability, grip and pop.
