The Nitro Team Pro Sam Taxwood is a men’s all-mountain snowboard from the 2022-2023 lineup, built to handle everything from groomed pistes to powder days at the resort. Its design is aimed at advanced riders who want a board that can carve hard and still have playful switch capabilities.
This snowboard features a Directional Twin shape paired with a True Camber profile and a flex rating of 8. The Directional Twin outline offers balanced performance whether you’re riding regular or switch, while still favouring forward-facing control. True Camber gives you lively pop and reliable edge hold on hard snow, and the stiffer flex helps maintain stability at speed and on variable terrain.
True Camber refers to the continuous arch between the contact points, creating tension that releases energy when you load the board for jumps or quick turns. A flex rating of 8 on a 1–10 scale indicates a firm feel—this translates into precise responsiveness underfoot and solid support when you’re pushing into aggressive carves or landing big drops.

The Team Pro Sam Taxwood snowboard is a board built to do it all at a level above the rest.

The tried, tested, and proper Directional Twin Shape and Dual Degressive sidecut provide the perfect blend of flex, edge hold, and control for any riding style.
