The Playful Twin ATV
The Santoku is a playful, flexing experimental ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) snowboard and the brainchild of world-class backcountry snowboarder and big-picture advocate Elias Elhardt. Designed to be the most fun and comfortable snowboard you can have under your feet, no matter where you find yourself on the mountain, give the extra float provided by the exaggerated nose and tail lengths. The Santoku's flex and twin shape are so diverse even park-style masters have made it their go-to shred stick. It's hard to give this board a category because it would thrive on any mountain in the galaxy.

All Terrain: All Mountain Pop
Our most versatile flex pattern, combining Nitro’s signature pop with smooth response, allowing you to tear up the entire mountain.
Dual Degressive Sidecut
The Dual Degressive 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.
Progressive Width
A larger radius in the front, blended into a tighter one towards the tail: The Progressive Sidecut makes accelerating out of turns a breeze, while maintaining a catch-free nose area.
Bi-Lite Laminates: Forgiving and Strong
Our rider-trusted Bi-Lite Laminates are engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board-feel.
Diamond Band – Supercharged Response
The Diamond Band carbon reinforcement fibers are ultra-strong yet lightweight. Tip-to-tail stringers transfer the rider’s input to help you drive your board and stay in control.
Power Core II: Enhanced Performance and Extra Strength
The Powercore II is a tip-to-tail poplar wood core with additional beech wood stringers for unrivalled strength, smooth response and insane snap.
Sintered Speed Formula II Base – Fastest and Durable
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. Highly tuned yet extremely durable, Speed Formula II Base technology is exclusively featured on Nitro high-end boards.
Whiplash Core Profile – Maximum Ollie Power
Our Whiplash Core Profile features reduced thickness between the inserts with added meat outside your feet for maximum ollie power, while maintaining a perfect press flex.
