Nitro Alternator X Volcom vs Nitro Prime View

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 Nitro Alternator X Volcom has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Nitro Prime View uses flat (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail). The Nitro Alternator X Volcom is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
