SCIENCE

DESIGN

At Nightmare we believe that art and choice are at the forefront of customer satisfaction, so we decided to open up a new arena. Choose your own size and profile for any model of snowboard (a model being a promodel or a artist model). Simple. Custom.

(Fine print) Exceptions exist, manufacturer reserves the right to produce whatever snowboards we want and allow or disallow certain combinations. Graphics involving full frontal nudity and/or penetration must be purchased by a consenting adult 18 years of age or older.

PROFILE

How do you want your snowboard to feel?

REVERSE

Fun. Forgiving and playful reverse camber.

REGULAR

Fast. Regular camber, tight and stable.

FLAT

flat. Best of both, stable and fun.

SHAPE

Where and how do you ride?

TWIN

Symmetrical flex and ride, urban and mountain.

DIRECTIONAL

Offset and tapered ride, mountain and powder.

SURF

Experimental and non traditional ride, powder and urban.

MATERIALS

The right combination of materials is is the key to a more durable and rideable snowboard. We are constantly researching and testing new materials in order to produce better quality snowboards at lower prices. Being an upstart we are still in the research phases with a lot of our technologies, keep checking back to see the freshest ideas put to work. We know firsthand how much modern manufacturing practices have hurt our environment. By emphasizing well thought out and qualified material choices, we can understand and lessen our impact on the world. Nightmare will constantly strive to test and innovate new solutions in both materials and methods. We will keep our minds open to new ways to reduce our material consumption, re-use existing materials, and recycle our waste instead of just throwing it away.

CORE

Standard

Our standard core profile is made flexible with uniform taper from the outside of the insert packs to the tip and tail.

Thin

Thin cores are strategically profiled for flex outside and inside of the binding packs, giving you a superhuman ability to control your snowboard (recommended for smaller riders).

Wood

Vertically laminated poplar and maple are used for basic core strength, response, and durability. Standard on all models of snowboard. (FSC certified hardwoods used whenever possible)

Foam

Foam provides the strongest and most consistent core material for a lower price. Sustainably produced waste-stream materials. Certified biobased.

COMPOSITES

Triax

Heavy tri-axle fiberglass is used to provide the right torsional flex as well as monster olie and power.

Biax

Bi-axle fiberglass is used for even more flexibility from edge to edge.

Carbon

Carbon is used to shed weight as well as add strength, and can be effective in various configurations.

Kevlar

Kevlar provides an impact resistant layer tough enough to ward off serious core damage and rot.

EPOXY

We have chosen to use a sustainable plastic to create our snowboards. Super sap resin is a certified bio-based two part epoxy that is produced using co-products from wood pulp processing and vegetable oil components sourced from the waste stream of bio-fuel processing. It has been tested and proven by our riders to be better for our snowboards, it is better for us to build with, and it is manufactured sustainably here in the USA. We can't say it better that they can.

PLASTICS

BASE

We use UHMW HDPolethylene which is a super hard and slick plastic product for the bases of our boards. Produced here in the USA and used worldwide. Our bases rule. They're tough, they can take abuse, they can handle shit. Each base is made of HDPolethylene, providing the fastest/toughest/smoothest snowboard you will ever ride. So we left the artwork up top and the base only "kind of" boring. Whatever base colors/designs we want to use that day or we deem appropriate is what goes in the layup of your board. Every board comes with a "unique" base to itself and remains a mystery to you, the consumer. Once again, its the base, you're supposed to give it hell.

TOPSHEET

Heavy duty hi color, high durability plastic lets our artwork shine. Standard. Rad.

SIDEWALLS

Industry standard ABS sidewalls provide hardcore protection from rails and rocks, they keep your core free of rot and damage. Skate wheel sidewalls protect your core from serious damage and core rot. rocks, rails, and the rest of the abuse that your board takes can be warded off with a plastic product that is strong and flexible. We have chosen to use a unique product (also biobased like our epoxy system and foam) that will provide more waterproofing without changing the flex pattern of the core.

EDGES

Rockwell hardened edges (48) provide superior grip and impact resistance around the outside of your deck. Thrash, bash, slash, every snowboarder experiences boardbang, and it's reasonable to think that bashing your board is 100% of the fun. Don't fake that shit, smash your board the way you want to, its your chariot, and you're gonna ride that lightning. It's what we do, the moment you strap into your board you are ready for the bad things to come, fuck what your previous warranty says, it's your choice to snowboard the way you choose, it's also your job to know what you're getting into. Common side effects from boardbang are: total base blowout, total edge blowout, total tail blowout, total topsheet blowout, or all of the above. Blowout usually occurs in four critical areas. Quadrallica puts four edges in your board so that in the event you bash your board into a blowout the repair is easier, less stress and less materials are effected. So in the event your board goes down with the ship, you can get back up, fix that shit, and get back in the game.

WAX

Every board is factory waxed with a blend of waxes created by Saucer Wax, located on the front range of Colorado. It's fast and it lasts. Saucer Wax.
