Snowboard - Nitro Zaza 149 Zaza is Iris Pham’s new board, designed with one goal in mind: give it as much pop as possible. The Zaza is a twin board equipped with Ureshred Sidewalls and Railkiller edges which are durable sidewalls and steel edges built to handle the abuse from rails and boxes. That said, the Zaza is far from a boring snowboard on groomers thanks to its Trüe Camber profile and Whiplash core profile, which deliver serious pop, edge power, and responsiveness. Check out the Zaza if you spend a lot of time in the park!
The board is waxed and tuned at the factory, ready for the mountain!
See the video below where Nitro presents the Zaza.
Rider: Freestyle – The Zaza is the new snappy board on the block. With a Zaza, you can destroy everything in the park and then take a break by throwing down butters or carving up the slopes. Freeride: 7/10 All Mountain: 8/10 Freestyle: 10/10 Flex: Park 7/10 Specifically tuned for park riding, this flex pattern is forgiving yet responsive; allowing you to take your riding to the next level on jumps and rails. 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. Radial Sidecut: The simplest and most common of all sidecuts: One single radius makes this sidecut extremely versatile and predictable.
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. Sintered Speed Formula HD Base: Utilizing a new base material compound, we have been able to achieve higher abrasion resistance, increased wax absorption and higher on- snow speeds. 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. Railkiller 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. Ureshred Sidewalls: New on all Nitro park boards, we are introducing our 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 our exclusive Railkiller Edges, our URESHRED sidewalls provide the ultimate package of edge durability and feel. Wax: All NITRO boards are factory-tuned with Kandahars 100% Natural Speed Wax, a fully Bio-degradable wax made of renewable resources.
Sustainability: Water-based incs for over 70% of all topsheets Wood from responsible sources (FSC certified) All edges are made of 50% recycled steel Over 85% of all running bases are made using recycled raw material The board factory is powered 100% by solar power
