The Mellow is firmly established as a rider favourite, blending a modern directional outline with versatile surf-style performance. Designed with plenty of surface area towards the nose and a shorter tail, this is the kind of board that comes alive on a powder day. It’s super easy to drive through deep turns and loves to be ridden off the back foot when you encounter those natural white waves; think beard-caking cutbacks, bottomless pillow slashes and treeline hacks.
A tight sidecut and mid-stiff flex pattern add genuine all-mountain capabilities; the Mellow feels reactive edge to edge and is equally at home burning wax on the hardpack, while the Surfy Camrock profile helps you mow down bumps and skim over slushy sections with no loss of flow. We’ve finished it all off with an ash veneer topsheet that provides natural ride dampening and a sick matte finish worthy of a place in any quiver.
Features:
Shape & Profile
- Diamond PowNose- specially developed technology for the Mellow, a freeride board that gives you the feeling of surfing, here Nidecker has extended the transition from the contact points to the nose to reduce the overall size of the board and provide extra float.
- Fish Tail - This is the defining feature of Nidecker's surfing-oriented snowboards. Since it’s specially designed to sink the tail in deep snow, they are able to drastically reduce the overall length of the board. The reduced drag results in a far smoother overall ride
- R7/R8 Series- a short 7 meter radius, mixed with a tighter bend, is ideal for cutting sharp arcs.
- Surfy Camrock Profile- brings a special feeling of surfing on snow, which is sought after by the new freeride generation. With a long rocker in the nose for optimal float and regular camber through the mid and tail, it has all the reactivity you need to ride a lot of obstacles.
Technology
- Premium Sandwich Construction- next-level construction increases the performance and response of standard Sandwich construction. By adding advanced materials like carbon and kevlar, they give the board more pop and improve shock absorption.
- 4 × 2/6 Inserts- this combination of inserts allows you to set your stance to the optimal position and works with all bindings on the market.
- Wood Veneer- the wood ash veneer topsheet provides additional sensitivity and is the most natural way to find the best balance between absorption and pop.
- Triax Plus Fiberglass- The result of extensive testing with riders and engineers, Nidecker's Triax laminate is oriented at 45° to the board, and contains different glass densities. This provides consistent torsional flex, better pop, and more reactivity on every turn.
- Master Core- is the result of a long history of experience in the field of materials and woodworking.It is a perfect harmony of different densities and varieties (poplar, beech, spruce and paulownia), resulting in an excellent weight-to-performance ratio and a strong, extremely responsive, light core.
- N-7000 Base- developed exclusively for Nidecker, the N-7000 is an extremely tough sintered base with added carbon nano-particles to provide exceptional glide.
- Pop Carbon- strategically placed carbon fibers for an even more reactive board, better pop and stiffness, which are features you'll appreciate when riding more aggressively.
- Matte finish
