PRODUCT DETAILS
PRODUCT DETAILS
Combining elements of previous best-selling models, the Platinum and Rave, with the latest in 3D design, the 2023 Nidecker Thruster Snowboard is made for aggressive high speed carving. It’s built on the lightest core in the Nidecker line, with a powerful camber profile and a super dense N-9000 sintered base that minimizes drag. This thing is blazingly fast. SideKick tips raise the wide points off the snow, making it smoother to engage the edges and helping the nose plow through deep snow and crud. Added carbon and an Absorbnid topsheet deliver a stable, chatter-free ride even when your eyes are watering. The name of the game here is control. It’s a missile, sure, but it’s laser-guided.
- Absorbnid Topsheet: Absorbnid is an innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. This allows us to develop responsive, dynamic boards that still give you a smooth and fatigue free ride.
- Triax Plus Fiberglass: The result of extensive testing with riders and engineers, triax laminate is oriented 45 degrees to the board and contains different glass densities. This provides consistent torsional flex, better pop, and more reactivity on every turn.
- Light Core: A perfect combination of Paulownia for lightness, Poplar for pop, and hardwood beech stringers along the outer edge to increase core durability, pop, and protect from edge impacts.
- N-9000 Base: Produced with carbon nano particles, the N-9000 has a very dense molecular structure, which makes it Nideckers fastest, most durable base material.
- Pop Carbon: Strategic placement of carbon fiber from the tail to the rear inserts, and from the nose to the front inserts, resulting in a more reactive board, with increased pop and stiffness. Its vibration dampening qualities make it ideal for more aggressive riding in all conditions.
- Sidekick: Lifts the 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.

PROFILE:
Camber
Camber- Best for carving and maintaining control and stability at speed on groomed runs or hard-pack with a lively responsive feel.
Rocker- Designed for quick turn initiation with a loose, surfy feel ideal for freestyle riding and fresh powder runs.
Flat- Versatile for various riding styles with balanced maneuverability and stability.
Hybrid- Is a combination of bends in the profile of a snowboard that change the riding characteristics for different terrains and conditions.
FLEX:
8 Flex
Soft Flex- 1-3 Flex. Forgiving and easier to apply pressure to while riding.
Medium Flex- 4-6 Flex. Versatile and responsive in varying conditions and terrain.
Stiff Flex- 7+ Flex. Less forgiving allowing for pressure to transfer edge to edge for a quick responsive board at high speeds.
RIDER LEVEL:
Intermediate-Advanced
Beginner- From a first-time rider to learning the foundations of carving and stopping.
Intermediate- A rider that has mastered the basics wants to explore riding different terrain or increasing speed.
Advanced/Expert- An experienced rider that can ride difficult terrain in any conditions.

BASE TECH
- Extruded Base - Found on most beginner and freestyle snowboards. Durable and made to be easier to repair and maintain.
- Sintered Base - Absorbs and holds wax better for more custom tuning resulting in faster performance but does require more frequent wax application.
CORE
MOUNTING
SHAPE
- Twin - The nose of the snowboard is the same shape and rise as the tail to ride the board in either direction and balanced freestyle riding.
- Directional Twin - The nose of the snowboard is the same shape and rise as the tail with the binding inserts set back for more surface area in the nose and versatility when riding in different snow conditions and terrain.
- Directional - The nose is typically longer and/or wider than the tail for float in powder and downhill riding.
