Nidecker Area Testboard model 19/20

The Nidecker Area Testboard model 19/20 is an all-mountain snowboard for advanced riders, designed to carve groomers and venture into softer snow alike. It balances stability on hardpack with enough playfulness to explore off-piste terrain.

This board’s directional shape channels power into forward motion, making high-speed turns feel controlled and giving extra lift when you drop into powder. Its camber profile adds pop and edge grip by distributing pressure evenly along the length of the board, while a flex rating of 7 keeps it responsive underfoot without being overly stiff—ideal for riders pushing their carving skills and seeking confidence in varied conditions.

Camber refers to the slight upward arch in the board’s midsection when it’s laid flat, which stores energy as you load your turns and releases it for a snappy, springy feel. The flex rating, on a scale of 1 to 10, indicates stiffness: at 7, the Area Testboard sits toward the firmer side, offering stability at speed and precise edge control, while still allowing quick directional changes.
