Nitro Highlander vs Nitro Ika

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and backcountry riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. The Nitro Highlander is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the stiff range.
