Nitro Carrara Snowboard Review
carrara_50t.png.to
$499
Intermediate to Expert All Mountain
Camber Directional Shape
The Nitro Carrera is a pretty aggressive board for Nitro and is made for women who want to cruise the mountain at moderate to high speeds.  Also if you like to carve the Carrera will hold an edge in most good conditions and has a pretty good spring out of each turn.  It's not going to be very catch free or easy when it comes to initiating turns but it will be fun. The Carrara is borderline average in powder due to it's camber shape.  If you like the pop you can get from camber riding and don't mind working to stay afloat you will like the Carrara.   If you are still into traditional camber this is a decent choice.
