Couldn't load pickup availability
The Nitro Quiver Ika is the newest womens exclusive powder board from Nitro. Designed with input from Cristy Prior, this surf inspired shape is perfect for anyone looking for float, response, and agility in even the deepest powder. The fan favourite swallowtail, setback shape, gives incredible float and is designed to be able to manoeuvre effortlessly through trees no matter how much powder is in your way.
Board Type: Powder
Powder snowboards are designed for deep snow. Generally these boards feature a directional shape with a tapered tail for better float and ease of riding.
Flex: 7/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.
Ability Level: Advanced
Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks.
Shape: Tapered Swallowtail
A tapered swallowtail snowboard features a directional shape with tail taper and a split tail that enhances float, stability, and turn control in deep snow. The tapered profile allows the tail to sink naturally, keeping the nose up with less effort, while the swallowtail design improves flex response and edge hold for smooth, controlled turns at speed.
Profile: Reflex Core Profile
The Reflex Core Profile features a thinner core profile between your feet to improve handling and increases torsional flex. This allows you to turn your board easier and with more precision.
Camber Type: Cam-Out Camber
Cam-Out camber is basically positive camber with earlier and smoother transition zones in the tip and tail. This gives the board a lower rise in the centre, resulting in a fun and responsive ride with easier turn initiation and more forgiveness, giving you the benefits of camber without the aggression.
Width: Mid-Wide
Mid-wide boards offer slightly increased width, reducing toe and heel drag, enhancing flotation, and boosting confidence when leaning into powerful carves.
Sidecut: Progressive Sidecut
A larger radius sidecut in the nose that blends into a tighter radius in the tail, keeping your turns fast and catch-free.
Inserts: 2x4 Inserts
These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.
Board Construction
Topsheet: EcoGuard Topsheet
The EcoGuard Topsheet is made of post-industrial material that utilises 90% recycled material.

So this is a tricky area. A lot of variation based on riding style, ability, gender; some boards your ride a little shorter or longer than standard. But use this chart as a good basis, and feel free to get in touch about any specific board sizing for your needs.
To decide between two sizes, choose the smaller size if your priority is maneuverability and freestyle performance, choose the larger size if you're focused on riding fast and powder performance. A shorter board will be easier to turn and a longer board will offer better float and stability riding off-piste.
