Nitro Sub Zero Snowboard - 2009

all of you out there looking for a reverse camber type board that still has enough snap to not leave you feeling like you are riding a noodle at the middle of the season check this one out... this board has what Nitro calls a gullwing shape... this means that in between your feet its reverse camber and from inside your feet out to the ends of the board is normal camber... this gives camber where its needed for snap, stability, and durability and reverse camber in between to give a lot more and act a lot more playful... it also has a drifter base.. this means that the base is bevelled up near the edges from foot to foot so that when you are on a rail and flatbased, the edges dont touch... no more broken faces from rails... the combat core is a super durable core that allows this board a lot of flex without sacrificing durability.. this board will blow you away...

I have the sub pop, which is the same board but a different name. I am 5'6" and have it in 148. It was a little hard to get used to at first, with the reverse camber and how flexible it is, but once past that, it is awesome. Great pop, great flex, great in the park, off jumps, on boxes, on rails, in powder. I have a 52 Rome that I was planning to use as a powder board, but the sub pop does so good in the powder I have been using it all season for all conditions. Most fun I have ever had on a snowboard. Invest!

love this board. handles well down packed powder runs, and holds its own in the pow. its awesome edge to edge, and the rocker feels amazing cruising down a hill. it does okay in the tree trails, but really shines in the park. decent pop, great flex, wonderful on jibs of course. super fun to butter around on. buy it.

Super soft board right from the beginning. Really fun on jibs and medium size jumps. Board is super squirrely on bigger jumps.

I was skeptical at first because of how incredibly soft it was, but it was very stable at high speeds. This board is made for the jib park, so jumps up to 30 ft. or so it does great on. The pop is so quick and effortless and HUGE. Slow sign ollies for days.
It also feels like I unlocked the cheat code for perfect presses...because it basically does it for you. So fun. So stoked on it. So glad I bought it. Highly recommended.

i absolutely love the camber story. gullwing is where its at. reverse camber between the feet for that skatey surfy catch free feel. camber under foot to give you more pop with ollies and spring out of the turns. the core is soaked in resin to make it extra strong while staying soft and buttery.

bottom line- super fun board for anyone that wants to play.

Absolutely love this board! Has a great flex and very forgiving, especially when your about to catch an edge. When it comes to powder with this board, it pretty much does all the work for you. I've ridden this board 30+ times this year and have to say am a little disappointed on how durable it is. But overall, great board, especially for the money.

I've been doing this a lot in my reviews this year, but I know that many people are finding the comparison to other decks helpful so I'm going to continue with it.

Lib Skate Banana, Burton Hero, Ride Crush, Never Summer Evo... Are these boards that you are considering for the 2010 season? The Sub Zero is another board that you should add to your list if you're thinking about the boards above.

Last year Nitro's big Early Release board with the Sub Pop, the Sub Zero is the same exact deck just with a new name and graphic. Nitro uses their Gulwing Rocker tech which is similar to that of Never Summer with a slight difference.

The board rockers in the middle to the binding inserts, but the middle of the board is thinned out pretty aggressively making it probably the softest boards I have ever been on. But I tried as hard as I could and couldn't snap the board between the inserts.

When you get to the binding inserts the board has a normal camber so that you still have an effective edge that you can carve on and doesn't get washy when you're carving. Nitro has also brought back their dished base from the old T0 board circa 1999. Adding a slight dish to the base around the deck, combined with rocker virtually eliminates hangup that put you on your ass when sliding rails and boxes.

If you're more of an all around park rider I would suggest checking out the T1 and if you're a jibber but not into the Rocker fad, make sure to take a glance at the Nitro Swindle.
