The Howler is an all new directional freeride board designed in collaboration with Victor de Le Rue and Elena Hight. Available in both men’s and women’s models, it features a mildly tapered directional shape with a hybrid full camber profile for maximum energy and confidence in steep, technical terrain.
These fan favorite all mountain rippers get a fresh shape for 2026 featuring a long nose, 5mm tapered tail, and directional rocker. A longer sidecut and wider profile provide edge-hold and stability for everyday resort riding, with 3D Flip Tip contouring up front to keep things floaty.
The women’s version of the Alternator is finally here, co-developed by Hailey Langland and destined for greatness on the Natural Selection Tour. This board pairs full camber with slight taper and a setback stance, perfect for freestyle riders taking their moves from the resort to more natural terrain.
The Stiletto is part of Nitro’s all new Guest Shaper Series. Every year Nitro will invite one legendary pro rider to design a limited edition board to be sold for only one season. The Stiletto is the first entry, a tribute to Nitro’s first ever swallowtail board, the Retro. With a wider swallowtail shape, this board is a powder-hungry soul surfer. Catch it while you can!
