Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition vs Nitro Squash

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freeride riding. The Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition uses a flat shape while the Nitro Squash is directional. The Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Nitro Squash uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Elan Ripstick 96 Black Edition targets expert riders while the Nitro Squash is aimed at advanced riders.
