22/23 Nitro Optisym Snowboard
The Nitro Optisym Snowboard is an asymetrical jib merchant for riders who just can't help themselves. From side hit sends to cat track kickers and everything in between, the Optisym turns the mountain into your playground. Where it really differs from traditional boards is not only its asym shape, but also its construction. Nitro have reinforced the heelside of this board with an extra helping of skate wheel urethane to better handle the inevitable abuse from rails and features. It's strong, but it's nice and flexy too, perfect for everything from butters and bends to wall splats and flatground tricking. If this sounds like a normal day on the hill for you, this is the one.

Laminates
Bi-Lite Laminates – Nitro's rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for a powerful riding style and a refined board-feel.
Sidewalls
Ureshred Sidewalls – Just like skate wheels and bushings, these sidewalls are made from polyurethane, which makes them highly resistant against impact and abrasion as well as giving them excellent dampening characteristics.
Powerwall – New construction of Ureshred Polyurethane sidewall material integrated into the core strengthens the core on the heelside edge. The sidewall material has a curved design in the wood core and a +20mm peak in between the bindings. This additional sidewall material provides extra durability and damping properties while improving the agility to get on an doff your heelside edge. Powerwall gives more support for flatland tricks and added durability for carving and knuckle tricks.

Premium Extruded FH Base – Durability, speed, and low maintenance all in one ultra clear base material.
Edges
