TESTER: Chad Cremers

BOARD: Nitro Quiver Squash 159

OVERALL IMPRESSION FROM  1 TO 7:  4

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: Super fun in untracked, lower angle powder

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT THIS BOARD?: the nose is too soft so when you start hitting choppy powder or even carving deeply it tends to fold.

OVERALL COMMENTS: this would be a great sled board, riding strictly untracked powder. I really enjoyed it on lower angle powder. but on hardpack and choppy powder the nose was folding like crazy. Also didn’t carve super great.

RATE THE SHAPE FROM 1 TO 7:  RADICAL

SHAPE COMMENT: AT THING OF BEAUTY

ADDITIONAL SHAPE COMMENTS:  really interesting shape that is super fun looking

RATE THE FLEX FROM 1 TO 7:   2

FLEX COMMENT:  TOO SOFT

ADDITIONAL FLEX COMMENT:  nose is too soft for the length and camber profile, but other than that it has a good flex.

RATE STABILITY THROUGH TURNS FROM 1 TO 7:   5

STABILITY COMMENT: PRETTY GOOD

ADDITIONAL STABILITY COMMENTS: its stable until the nose gets engaged

RATE THE POP/ PLAYFULNESS FROM 1 TO 7:  6

COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS:

ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON PLAYFULNESS:  pretty poppy and fun for being super set back.

RATE FLOAT IN POW FROM 1 TO 7:    RADICAL

COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: EFFORTLESSLY FLOATY

ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON FLOAT IN POW: one of the easiest floating snowboards I’ve ever ridden

RATE THE GRAPHICS FROM 1 TO 7:  5

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY: if the nose was stiffer and the board was a bit wider, this thing would be amazing!
