Nidecker Megalight Snowboard
Born out of Nidecker's roots in the Swiss Alps, the Megalight is a featherweight freeride model capable of drawing fluid lines down the most technical of descents. Camber between the bindings, a mid-stiff flex and triax glassing deliver precise edge control and a ton of snap, while the extended rocker at the nose helps you drive hard out of those deep landings.
The Megalight dampens vibrations at the tip and tail through a construction we call Freeflex 3.0, and features a 3DN core that shaves even more weight from targeted areas. It’s an agile samurai sword that’s supremely easy to handle through tight chutes, critical faces and legit drops. Size up for even more float
- Flex: medium stiff 3/4
- Terrain: Resort 4/4, Pow 4/4, Park 1/4
- Carving Machine: a label that warns you that this board is a high-performance carving machine. Jump in and feel its power!
Shape & Profile
- Diamond Pic Nose & Diamond Tail
- Radius R7 / R8 - ideal for cutting sharp arcs.
- Freeride Camrock Profile - offers everything you need to tackle tougher backcountry descents. Longer rocker and nose, underfoot arch and reduced tail rocker create a confidence-inspiring, maneuverable board with a float that really pushes the boundaries of freeriding
Technology
- N-Tech 2.0 Construction - Years of research and development have resulted in N-Tech technology, a unique construction method that we believe represents the future of snowboarding manufacturing. It is a combination of Sandwich and Cap constructions with Freeflex 3.0 in the tip and tail and a special 3D torsion construction between the legs, bringing a truly three-dimensional riding experience that redefines the meaning of performance snowboarding.
- 4 × 2/6 + 1 Inserts - this combination of inserts allows you to set the stance to the optimal position and works with all bindings on the market.
- Absorbnid Topsheet - an innovative topsheet has been developed to absorb unwanted vibrations for a smooth ride.
- Triax Plus Fiberglass - The result of extensive testing is triaxial lamination at an angle of 45° to the snowboard. Combined with different density fiberglass, consistent torsional flex, better pop and better response in every arc is achieved.
- Light Core - the lightest core - with 3 different types of wood; it's the perfect combination of for lightness, poplar for pop and sensitivity, and beech bracing along the edges to increase core durability, pop and edge impact protection.
- N-9000 Base - base made of carbon nanoparticles; N-9000 has a very dense molecular structure, which makes it the fastest and hardest sliding material.
- 3D N-Concept- this concept takes snowboard construction to the next level. A unique core outline between the inserts allows the board to flex differently under each foot, delivering the ultimate feeling of control and a three dimensional riding experience you won’t find anywhere else.

How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead.

Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
