Nidecker Astral: Take Your Snowboard Adventure to the Next Level
Based on the popular Merc, the Nidecker Astral is specially designed for women and smaller riders. This snowboard combines advanced technologies and materials to give you a versatile and playful ride that takes your riding skills to the next level.
The secret of the Astral lies in the CamRock profile. This profile provides smooth turn initiation and offers excellent edge hold with less chance of catching. This allows you to glide down the slope with more confidence and control. The mellow flex of the Astral makes it easy to load presses, while the Pop Carbon inlays at both ends provide explosive ollie pop.
Key Features
The Astral is built with Triax fiberglass, which provides a super responsive feel from edge to edge and stability at high speed. This construction makes the board ideal for both carving on piste and adventurous rides off the beaten path.
To dampen vibrations and give your ollies more snap, carbon inlays are added toward the nose and tail of the board. These inlays not only improve performance but also increase the durability of the Astral, so you can enjoy a reliable ride season after season.
The core of the Astral combines two woods (poplar and paulownia) to offer the best of both worlds: light, strong, and responsive. Our Master Core is the result of decades of experimentation with materials and woodworking, and provides the perfect balance between weight and strength.
With its versatile character and playful nature, the Nidecker Astral is designed to inspire and challenge you to improve your snowboarding skills. Whether you’re surfing powder, playing in the park, or just cruising the piste, the Astral gives you the perfect combination of control, power, and fun.
Choose the Nidecker Astral and discover a snowboard that not only performs impressively but also boosts your confidence and encourages you to explore new limits. Get ready for a season full of adventure and growth with this exceptional snowboard, specially designed for female and smaller riders.

Technical Specifications
Nidecker Snowboards offers you an extra year of warranty against manufacturing defects. Register your board HERE to extend your warranty from two to three years.
The N5000 is a universal base. It is designed to absorb wax and hold it longer. This base is exceptionally durable and takes you anywhere.
The DeMaster Core is the result of decades of experimentation with materials and woodworking. Two wood species (poplar and paulownia) are combined to offer the best of all worlds: light, strong and responsive.
This triax laminate is the result of extensive testing with pro riders and engineers. It is laid at a 45-degree angle to the board and contains different glass densities. This provides consistent torsional flex, better pop and more responsiveness on every run
Absorbnid is an innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. This allows us to develop responsive, dynamic boards that still provide you with a smooth, fatigue-free ride.
