The Nitro Swindle Snowboard 2010 is a very soft snowboard. It is definitely a jib board and therefore designed for a rider that is looking to hit mostly park and rails. In addition to having a lot of flex and being very soft the Nitro Swindle is also very light weight. It comes in a lot of different sizes enabeling you to chose the size that fits you most. The Nitro Swindle is a very technical board and therefore requires its rider to be at least intermediate at snowboarding.
But if you like technical riding and don’t need to go at super fast speed the Nitro Swindle could be the board for you. It is also one of the cheaper boards out there making it ideal as a 2nd boards to take just for the parks.

It’s notable that the Nitro Swindle won the Transworld Snowboarding Good Wood Award for snowboards under $400. The core is designed to be very allowing while giving you that jiby feeling you like. The larger edges will help you with sketchy landings and the Scratch & Rip Base lets you show off the scars of a season of shredding to your friends.

All in all if you are looking for a 2nd board to ride the park with or don’t plan on going much to the slopes the Nitro Swindle might just be the right board for you.
