Nitro Fate Snowboard Review

fate_50t.png.to
$399
Beginner to Advanced All Mountain Freestyle
Flat Camber Directional Twin
We have not had many good experiences with Flat Camber boards.  They have little to no pop, turn rather funny and seem to allways underperform compared to hybrid rocker, hybrid camber, camber and even rocker.  The turn initiation is great when making short radius turns but when you are looking to carve out a serious turn it is missing something that almost every other design has.  Some love the zero camber and some hate it.  This is one of the better zero camber boards but it still isn't super poppy or really fun to make carving turns like other designs are.  If you are ok with that the Fate might be a good board.
