Boardworks Breakdown:
The new Nitro Quiver Dinghy is made to eat up all of the flat pow and low angle terrain that would typically have you double guessing, “Will I get stuck there?” and, “Is this really even steep enough to carve?” A shorter board like this can also be an absolute blast in tight trees. The Dinghy is super short and wide, so it can accommodate a wide variety of boot sizes and human sizes. If you are a larger rider, this short wide is going to feel fairly soft, forgiving, and playful. For lighter riders, it is going to feel like more of a medium flex while still retaining a fairly forgiving and playful feel.
Manufacturer Description:
INTRODUCING THE WIDER POWDER WAYFARER.
The new Quiver Dinghy is for riders with a bigger foot or experienced powder and groomer turners looking for an oversized surfaced snowboard to navigate low-angle tree runs, deep pow days, and wide-open runs. Designed to be the go-to versatile shortboard in any given situation.
We are proud to introduce the brand new short and wide Quiver board, the Dinghy, which offers a fun all-mountain surfy ride to riders with a larger foot or those looking for a wide board to enhance their turning and edge hold in the pow or on the groomers. The Dinghy is a versatile board, much like the boat, built to do it all in a compact wide directional tapered shape, allowing all types of riders to enjoy the experience at lightning speeds provided by the Sintered Speed Formula II Base. Even though the Dinghy is built wide, the Powercore II, Reflex Core Profile, and Progressive sidecut keep it quick on its toes and agile from edge to edge – providing a fun surfy ride even in the tightest of trees. The new Nitro Quiver Dinghy is for the rider looking for a fun shape, versatile wide size, and ride experience that pushes the status quo of the future of snowboarding!

Camber
True Camber
True Camber is good old standard camber, which provides the stability, and pop many shreds can’t live without. The amount of snap and support you get from a cambered board is unrivalled by any other camber design. Our True Camber varies between board models because each board is specifically designed for a certain terrain type of type of riding. For example, the True camber in our Pantera has a larger height for maximum response, while the True Camber in our freestyle boards are lower to provide you with a more freestyle friendly flex, without losing the support and trust you need for stomping landings. Camber is camber there is not point in overcomplicating it!

Sustainability Efforts
Climate Neutral Product
Together with ClimatePartner we are able to use specific and accurate tools and information to measure our carbon footprint in life cycle from production to end of life of our snowboards. Our partnership with ClimatePartner allows us to strive to find more efficient ways to improve and reduce our carbon footprint every step of our products lifecycle, and allows us to offset our current carbon footprint to make our snowboards 100% Carbon Neutral by investing into climate change projects and solutions. Reducing, rethinking, and compensating for C02 emissions is just the start.
FSC Certified: 100% wood from well-managed forests
The wood used in every snowboard is what makes a snowboard a snowboard, the organic flex is something unique and special. We feel it is important that we and everyone else respects the forests and the wood that is being used for the future of snowboard development, but more importantly the future of the planet and our forests. We are proud to officially announce that all of our boards are made with wood cores harvested 100% from well-managed forests and we are therefore entitled to use the official FSC label on all of our snowboards.
