The Optisym was inspired by all those snowboarders who enjoy turning everything, even a groomed run, into a playground, switching from airtime tricks to flat ground tricks within seconds. This snowboarding style is probably the most relatable and achievable freestyle snowboarding – which is why we decided to make a board for the flatlands – the dreamers – the Optisym.

Equipped with a brand new heelside core technology, called the Powerwall, which provides more durability and strength to the heel sidewall and more agility when on your heel edge, something unique to the asymmetrical snowboard shape philosophy. The Optisym´s mid-wide shape reduces toe and heel drag, which is essential for progressing your carves, butters, and flatland tricks. The overall asymmetrical twin shape and Dual Degressive sidecut allows for endless control when carving and navigating the entire mountain. The Cam-Out Camber and Whiplash Core Profile allow for quick and high ollie power while maintaining a flex pattern in the nose and tail that will enable you to hold butters like a pro. If you are looking for a mid-wide freestyle board for side hits, flatlanding, carving, and jibbing any mountain – then the Optisym is the board you need to make your future bright! Let the groomer season begin!

Features:

Powercore II: The Powercore II is a tip-to-tail poplar wood core with additional beech wood stringers for unrivalled strength, smooth response and insane snap.

Whiplash Core Profile: This profile features reduced thickness between the inserts with added meat outside your feet for maximum ollie power, while maintaining a perfect press flex.

New! Powerwall: New construction of the Ureshred Polyurethane sidewall material integrated into the core strengthens the core on the heel side edge. The sidewall material has a curved design in the wood core, a +20mm peak in-between the bindings. This additional sidewall material provides extra durability and dampening proper ties while improving the agility to get on and off your heel side edge. The Power wall is found on the Optisym and Drink Sexy snowboard to give more support for flatland tricks and added durability for carving and knuckle tricks.

Ureshred Sidewalls: New on all Nitro park boards, they are introducing the URESHRED sidewall: 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. Together with Nitro’s exclusive Railkiller Edges, the URESHRED sidewalls provide the ultimate package of edge durability and feel.

Bi-Lite Laminates: Nitro’s rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board-feel.

Rainkiller Edge: Your secret weapon for rails, rocks and longevity! With its unique edge profile and an impact resistance of more than 200% compared to a standard edge – the Railkiller Edge is twice as thick and twice as strong. This proprietary construction can take on any rail challenge. Take a file to them or ride them hard and wear them down naturally, this chunk of steel has enough meat for years of abuse.

Urban Flex: These ultra-flexible boards can be tweaked any way you like, from rails to butter tricks, and they won’t wash out on you.

Premium Extruded FH Base: Durability, speed and low maintenance all in one ultra-clear base material – the FH Base takes the abuse of rail and urban riding like no other.

Dual Degressive Sidecut: This sidecut blends a smaller radius in the center with two larger ones in the tip and tail, making it loose and playful. Nitro´s most forgiving sidecut.

100% Natural Speed Wax: All NITRO boards are factory-tuned with Kandahars 100% Natural Speed Wax, a fully Biodegradable wax made of renewable resources.

2×4 Inserts

Profile:

Hybrid Camber

Camber between your feet for precision and pop with rocker outside of your inserts for a catch free, float ready ride.

Shape:

Asymmetric Twin

Asymmetrical boards offer an additional dimension to snowboard design. With a designated toe and heel edge, asymmetrical boards truly realize that your foot is definitely *not symmetrical*. The toe edge is generally slightly longer with a shallower, less aggressive sidecut and the heel edge is generally slightly shorter with a deeper, more reactive sidecut. This is all designed to minimize rider fatigue, while maximizing performance through easier, more natural feeling heelside turns for better response, better carving and more fun!
