Nidecker Merc vs Ride Shadowban

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. The Nidecker Merc is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Nidecker Merc targets intermediate riders while the Ride Shadowban is aimed at advanced riders.
