When Nitro asked Ana Ruhmia what she wanted from her pro-model snowboard, she asked for a loose, skateboard feel she could play around with, pop big ollies on and get her presses and butters locked in with ease. Nitro delivered exactly this without losing the stability and response needed for hitting jumps or riding at high speed. The Ana Ruhmia Pro is the perfect board to have fun in the park, cruise on piste and slash through slush. Sitting comfortably between super-soft and mid-flex, it’s best suited to intermediates and above who’re looking for a competent all-mountain snowboard which can handle park hits as well. The mellow flex makes it particularly good at absorbing uneven snowpack, ruts and bumps. Built around Nitro’s Power core, tip-to-tail poplar wood laminates that provide lightweight strength and the perfect blend of flex, response and feel. This keeps the board obedient on uneven or unpredictable snowpack, yet playful and fun when you’re laying down a massive powder slash. The ARP utilises Bi-Lite fibreglass laminates in its topsheet; engineered for unrivalled strength, powerful style and refined board-feel. The result is a board that feels forgiving without compromising on heavy duty performance. The Premium Extruded FH base offers bomb-proof durability, speed and low maintenance. The super-tough, base is fully extruded providing durable, impact resistant performance which lasts significantly longer between services than sintered bases. This means you can throw more abuse its way without having to worry about repairing or maintaining the base regularly. The ARP uses a traditional Radial Sidecut. Despite its simplicity, a radial sidecut is the most common form of sidecut radius due to its effectiveness, versatility and predictability. The women’s specific Urban flex pattern is specifically tuned for super-soft performance. These ultra-flexible boards can be tweaked any way you like, from rails to butter tricks, and they won’t pop out from beneath you. Topped off with Nitro’s Flat-Out Rocker, a
