Nidecker Mellow Men's Snowboard
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. They’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.
Shape & Profile
- Diamond Pow Nose - 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

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. Not sure how stiff your snowboard is? Ask us!
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.
