Niche Maelstrom vs Niche Story

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Niche Maelstrom has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Niche Story uses other (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Niche Maelstrom is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
