NIDECKER ALPHA APX SNOWBOARD – The All-Terrain Top Dog
The Alpha APX sits firmly at the top of the all-mountain food chain. Nidecker's flagship Biomimicry model takes the innovative natural outline of the regular Alpha and enhances the construction with more carbon, a race-grade base and premium sidewalls. The result? Fast, fluid turns on any terrain. The APX's explosive power can handle the biggest features – in and out of resort – while its rockered nose generates increased lift and seamless edge transitions.
KEY FEATURES
- The Alpha APX's spooned nose and pinched-in tail are taken from marine and bird life; they give the board incredible glide and natural float.
- The upgraded sidewall construction delivers power into the edge faster and maximises grip – this thing corners like it's on rails.
- Nidecker's Surfy CamRock profile is spring-loaded between the feet but extends the nose rocker to help the Alpha APX mow down bumps and plow through deep snow with ease.

TECH DETAILS
Construction
- Power Rails: An exclusive Nidecker construction inspired by surfboards. The topsheet is wrapped over a rounded wood core to meet a thin sidewall. It's a beautiful finish that's even more stunning to ride, delivering instant drive through the edge.
Topsheet
- Absorbnid: An innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. Enjoy a smooth ride with less fatigue.
Inserts
- 4/2-6: 6 rows of inserts at 2 cm intervals gives you maximum choice of stance width and works with any binding on the market.
Fiberglass
- Triax Plus: Fiberglass is woven in three directions at 45° for maximum stiffness. The result of extensive testing with our riders and engineers, Triax Plus uses different glass densities above and below the core to deliver more consistent torsional flex, better pop, and lightning response.
Woodcore
- Light Core: Our lightest ever core is composed of three wood types, including featherweight paulownia and super responsive poplar. Hardwood beech stringers down the centre enhance the overall strength and boost pop.
Base
- N-9000: A lightning quick sintered base made from super dense material with a high carbon content to minimise friction. Wax it on the regs for race-level performance.
Added Carbon
- Pop Carbon Plus: Pop Carbon is deployed on both sides of the core and from tip to tail, beefing up the flex. Ideal for aggressive riders who want snappy edge response, tons of pop and a smooth ride at high speeds.
3D Shaping
- Evolution Nose: Our 3D curved nose helps the board roll smoothly from edge to edge, creating a natural, surf-like flow through each turn.
- Drop Out: The Drop Out is derived from the shape of a bird of prey's tail. It generates more control when up on edge, but also allows for extra agility and deep, tight turns.
EXTRAS
- Overprint: Layered topsheet artwork that adds depth and texture to the graphic.
- Glossy Finish: Adds a premium shine to select board artwork.
- Diecut Base: The base graphic is pieced together like a jigsaw for maximum impact.
- Carving Machine: High performance carving boards that turn like they're on rails.
- Translucent Color: A three-dimensional graphic using less ink to reveal more of the construction.
