Explore Nidecker Alpha
Imagine standing at the top of a snow-capped mountain, ready to make the descent of a lifetime. With the Nidecker Alpha, this dream is within reach. This snowboard embodies the perfect harmony between precision and adventure, making it the ideal companion for seasoned snowboarders and newcomers alike.
The Nidecker Alpha has a Directional shape, which means the board is designed to perform optimally in one direction. This provides stability and precision when cutting corners and makes it easy to control speed, even on steep slopes. Whether you enjoy riding on groomed slopes or feel adventurous in powder, the Directional shape effortlessly adapts to different conditions.
Surfy CamRock Profile
The Alpha's Surfy Camrock profile is a masterpiece in itself. This unique camber-rocker design combines the benefits of camber and rocker, allowing you to experience both precision and playfulness. The camber section provides stability and pop for technical turns, while the rocker-section provides effortless float in powder. This allows you to effortlessly switch between carving on the piste and surfing in deep snow.
Another notable feature of the Nidecker Alpha is the 3D Spoon Nose. This advanced design creates a natural elevator in the nose of the board, allowing you to float through deep powder with ease. It also provides error forgiveness, allowing you to refine your riding style without fear of making mistakes.
The Alpha is equipped with a super-fast N7000 base that lets you glide effortlessly across the snow. Whether you're skimming down the slopes at high speeds or having off-piste-adventures, this base allows you to pick up speed and make impressive descents.
This snowboard feels as at home on the slopes as it does in powder. It is the perfect companion for riders who want to push their limits and reach new heights on the mountain.

Technical SPecifications
Nidecker Snowboards offers you an extra year warranty against manufacturer defects. Register your board HERE to extend your warranty from two to three years.
The N7000, developed exclusively doo Nidecker, is an extremely strong, sintered base with added carbon nanoparticles that provide exceptional sliding resistance.
The Master Core-construction is the result of long history of experimentation with materials and woodworking by Nidecker. It is the perfect harmony of different wood densities and varieties (poplar, beech, spruce and paulownia), resulting in a superior weight-performance-strength ratio and an ultra-strong, extra-responsive, lightweight core.
Biax plus retains the properties of the tried and tested 90-degree biaxial fiberglass weave, but Nidecker uses more glass to improve power transmission. It is uncompromising in its response and energy return.
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 ride without fatigue.
Increase buoyancy and maintain carve-performance for a ride on the back foot
A directional shape provides improved performance and stability when riding in one direction, especially when freeriding and on powder.
