Product Description

"Swift, Silent, Deep" is the motto of this discontinued model from Nitro. It has since been replaced with the wood core model below. This board was made with a foam core cap construction that makes it able to obtain a perfect mix of flex, stability and control in deep powder.  This board also has a turned up tail, making it more maneuverable.  Anyone who has experienced this board in deep powder has a hard time going to anything other board.

With the 195cm boards selling for $1500.00 if and when you can find them, being able to buy one of these gems at any price is like finding that no ones been in your favorite powder stash a week after the last dump!  So get them while you can, cause they are not making any more.

when the snow is deep don't think of taking anything other than a swallowtail this board is the perfect combination of all things good when its bottomless powder flexy but stable performance , it is easy to build confidence from wide open bowls to tree poaching, you will quickly forget about the size and feel right at home on this board

Did it just snow 30 plus inches? Then there is no question which board to bring. The Nitro Powder Gun is one of the funnest boards I have ever rode. I took it out to Powder Mountain just outside of Ogden Utah on a day they just got 30 inches. We were there for first chair and it was completely untouched. First run I laid that thing out, sending up huge rooster tails and getting super low to the ground. I was able to charge through everything and stay afloat way better than all of my friends. It had the speed, the control, and the quick turn agility like I had never experienced. Nitro Powder Gun I love you.
