This year, NIDECKER is serving up several series inspired by shapes found in nature. The Alpha is no exception, setting a new standard in ride smoothness for all-mountain boards. Glide effortlessly through powder, carve clean lines on the slopes, or rip down wooded mountain sides—there are no limits for the Alpha. The three-dimensional spoon-shaped nose—modeled after the profiles of marine mammals—provides maximum float and easy turn initiation, while subtle sidecuts ending in a tail mimicking a bird of prey’s tail help you effortlessly push through deep powder.

"Under the hood," the Alpha features a lively NDK core made from sustainably sourced Swiss poplar with a flex profile, combined with carbon fiber layers for even more pop. Vibrations are kept to a minimum thanks to our Absorbnid™ topsheet. Smooth edge-to-edge transitions and the versatile flex of the Alpha make it the perfect deck for creative mountain surfers like Matieu Crepel.
