Nidecker Mellow vs Nidecker Play

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Nidecker Play leans more freestyle. The Nidecker Mellow uses a directional shape while the Nidecker Play is directional twin. The Nidecker Mellow 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 Nidecker Play uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
