Sims Distortion vs Sims Nub USA
Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Sims Nub USA leans more powder. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Sims Distortion has a hybrid (camber/rocker) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Sims Nub USA uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). At $520 vs $610 MSRP, the Sims Distortion is the more budget-friendly option.
