Nitro Stiletto RS x Drew Hicken Snowboard | 2026
Powder-Hungry Soul Surfer
The Nitro Stiletto RS x Drew Hicken 2026 is a big-mountain, powder-focused freeride board created as part of the Nitro Guest Shaper Series. Designed by Nitro legend Drew Hicken as a tribute to Nitro’s original swallowtail shapes, this limited-edition model blends deep-day surf feel with top-tier freeride performance. With its wide swallowtail, extended nose, and mid-wide platform, the Stiletto RS is built to float effortlessly, carve powerfully, and ride with stability in the steepest terrain.
Featuring a tapered directional shape, deep swallowtail, and Nitro’s Cam-Out Camber profile, this board offers powerful edge hold and stability at speed while maintaining nimble handling for a 166 cm big-mountain gun. The rockered nose smooths turn initiation and maximizes float, while the camber underfoot keeps the board lively and responsive in variable conditions. This shape is built to surf open faces, glide through trees, and carve groomers back to the lift with confidence after the storm.
Inside, the Powercore II provides strength and energetic response with reinforced stringers for added snap. Bi-Lite laminates deliver a smooth, predictable torsional feel, and the Sintered EcoSpeed HD Base ensures maximum speed and durability with eco-friendly construction. The Stiletto RS is a one-size, one-season release for riders who want a dedicated powder and freeride board with true surf DNA.
