This board is such a surprise, easily the standout out of all the boards I have ridden in the last few years. Much more fun that I would ever have expected, I didn’t want to stop riding it.
A few years ago I had ridden the 173cm model (pictured below), and while that is still quite a bit bigger than most boards I had ridden, the 203 beats it in every way.
Yes Season Nexus 2023 Review The Season Nexus is a slightly wider, do everything all-mountain board. It has a mainly cambered profile, with a bit more rocker in the nose than the tail, and a small amount of taper. The first time that I flexed the Nexus (off snow) I was very surprised about how …
Korua Shapes Transition Finder Plus Review The Korua Shapes Transition Finder Plus (used to be called Tranny Finder Plus) is an upgraded version of the regular Transition Finder.

The Nitro Fintwin is one of their Quiver lineup of board, and is a short, wideish surfy powder board. Not as crazy wide as the Pow, but still decent.
The Jones Stratos isn’t a cheap board, but it does everything it says it will really well, and can pretty much justify the price.
The Yes 420 Powderhull is a slightly thinner and stretched out version of the super fat and wide 420, with a very unique concave base shape in the nose and tail.

The Nitro Mountain is a fun, classic feeling all-mountain snowboard that does a little bit of everything well.
The new Kilroy Pow is based on the Stun Gun shape, but has a few features changes to keep the price down. A good value option for someone who doesn’t want to spends too much, but still needs the features of higher end boards.
The Woodcarver is one of Nitro’s high end, carving boards that is still made to float in powder. It is a smooth and fast turning board that can handle a lot, but it isn’t a cheap one.
