Stiletto RS x Drew Hicken Snowboard - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Stiletto RS feels like a true throwback, but with modern performance. I love how the swallowtail just glides through powder—no back leg burn—and it stays stable when charging steeper lines. The cam-out camber keeps it responsive without being overly demanding, and the wide nose helps it float effortlessly. It’s a blast in deep snow but surprisingly capable when carving groomers back to the lift."

Who It’s For

Dedicated Powder Hunters and Directional Riders:

The Stiletto RS is built for snowboarders chasing deep days and seeking a board that combines heritage-inspired design with modern freeride performance. With its tapered swallowtail, medium-stiff flex, and mid-wide platform, it’s ideal for confident intermediates and advanced riders who want stability at speed and unmatched float in powder.

What It’s For

Powder Surfing, Steeps, and Backcountry Lines:

This board thrives in backcountry zones, storm-day resort laps, and big mountain terrain. The swallowtail maximizes float, the progressive sidecut powers through turns, and the sintered EcoSpeed HD base keeps it fast in variable snow. It’s designed for directional riding—charging pow fields, holding stability through drops, and slicing carves with precision.

Why We Like It

Heritage Style, Modern Construction, and Deep-Snow Mastery:

We like the Stiletto RS for how it pays tribute to Nitro’s original swallowtail while updating it with sustainable, high-performance materials. The Powercore II with Bi-Lite laminates balances strength and flex, while EcoPoxy and the Ecoguard topsheet reduce environmental impact. It’s more than just a collector’s item—it’s a serious powder weapon with timeless style.
