Nitro Testing with Noel Salas

Monday, December 4, 2017 3:45:03 PM America/Los_Angeles

Wherever you surf around the world, the new Nitro is all about making those smaller, weaker days as much fun as possible. With a flatter rocker than any other board in our X Series, it's built to generate and hold maximum speed in whatever waves you have on hand. In this review, Noel Salas surfs his Nitro on a few small days at Trestles, and gives it a great going over. Looks like it suits him pretty damn well too... Dimensions, below (he's 5'9" / 77kg). Enjoy!

Saquarema's mixed bag has been on full display for the start of the Brazil CT leg, with everything from peeling lefts to wedgey rights throwing up sections for turns, airs, and even the odd barrel (for Parko, especially).
