Snowboard - Nitro Santoku x Drink Sexy 159 Santoku was developed by Nitro riders Elias Elhardt and Yungdoli, with graphics designed by the snowboard/fashion brand DRINK SEXY.
Santoku is the board for riders looking for a playful Freeride/All-Mountain snowboard. With a Dual Degressive sidecut and Trüe Camber, it is both fast and easy to ride. The short effective edge makes it easy to make quick turns in the trees or master sidehits like no other. In addition, the extra width and stiffness in the nose and tail, combined with a twin shape, make the Santoku ultimate for smooth butters and sky-high ollies — or why not bottomless powder!
The Santoku is a playful board for those who ride all over the mountain. This is the board that Nitro rider Lucas Baume a.k.a. Yungdoli chooses every day of the week.
The Santoku feels softer than the flex scale shows.
The board is waxed and tuned at the factory, ready for the mountain!

Freeride: 9/10 All Mountain: 10/10 Freestyle: 8/10
Flex: All Terrain 7/10 (Can be perceived as softer) Our most versatile flex pattern, combining Nitro’s signature pop with smooth response, allowing you to tear up the entire mountain. Flex 1/10 is soft and playful whilst 10/10 is stiff and responsive.
Rider Level: Intermediate -Advanced
Shape: Twin: The nose and tail are identical and the bindings are centered on the board. Same shape, flex and camber at both ends. This is so that you can ride equally well in both directions. 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.
Profile: Trüe Camber: Trüe Camber is good old standard camber, which provides the stability, and pop many shreds can ́t live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivalled by any other camber design. Our Trüe Camber varies between board models because each board is specifically designed for a certain terrain or type of riding, for example the Trüe Camber in our Pantera has a larger height for maximum response, while the Trüe Camber in our freestyle boards are lower to provide you with a more freestyle friendly flex, without losing the support and trust you need for stomping landings. Camber is Camber there is no point in over complicating it!
Construction: 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. Bi-Lite Laminates: Our rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board- feel. Carbon Tape: Well-balanced layers of carbon fiber establish a new level in performance. More snap and liveliness provide a smooth, powerful and effortless ride. 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. Sintered Speed Formula II Base: Rocket science put to work! A nanotech wax formula deeply infused into our sintered base material makes the base surface lightning fast in all snow conditions.
