Snowboard Nidecker The Mosquito 148

The shortest model in our surf-inspired quiver, the Mosquito is made for ripping into bottom turns, hacking lips and getting pitted. It’s a pow-focused craft that thrives when ridden off the back foot, but its nimble nature makes it surprisingly versatile. From January tree lines to icy groomers or spring slush, the Mosquito’s compact outline – combined with an aggressive sidecut – keeps you cornering on a dime. A Surfy Camrock profile features lively camber between the feet that merges seamlessly into an extended rocker at the nose, boosting float and helping you make it through the bumpiest of sections.

Like your favourite surf stick, it weighs next to nothing thanks to a poplar/paulownia core that’s the lightest in our range. We’ve glassed this template with a unique combination of triax and biax fibres that deliver response and playfulness in equal measure, wrapping the topsheet around the rail in a precise build we call Nidactive Construction. Together with the slim ABS sidewall, this exclusive technology transfers even more power into the edge and provides a finish straight out of the shaping bay. See you out the back!
