Nidecker Escape Plus Men's Snowboard
The Escape Plus packs even more punch into the same versatile outline as its younger brother. A full camber profile gives you maximum edge grip and explosive ollie power – supplemented by PopCarbon Plus stringers that run the length of the deck to deliver lightning response. This is a board that’s playful to ride but loves to go fast, whether you’re plundering the early morning fresh or sending it off the big line in the park.
At the heart of the Escape Plus is legendary Master Core, combining the best qualities from four woods (poplar, beech, spruce and paulownia) for the ultimate in strength to weight. Together with that extra dose of carbon, the Escape Plus feels smooth and vibration-free even as the throttle’s turned up to 11. Underneath we’ve specced it out with a rapid and durable N-7000 base, while the layup uses Triax Plus glassing to keep you carving like you’re on rails. With its unique varnished walnut veneer adding a stunning finish, experienced snowboarders will appreciate the detail that’s gone into this all-terrain powerhouse.
- Flex: medium stiff
- Terrain: Resort 4/4, Pow 4/4, Park 3/4
- Carving Machine: a label that warns you that this board is a high-performance carving machine. Jump in and feel its power!
Shape & Profile
- Sidecut R8 Series - Sidecut from 8 metres and up is ideal for sharp carving. The board easily goes into curves.
- Positive Camber Profile - is the foundation for performance snowboards, its exceptional grip and strong response make it the default choice for riders looking for optimal carving performance. The secret to an advanced arch is the addition of flat 8 to 10 cm transitions at the contact points that bring ultimate precision, edge hold and stability.
- Directional shape - this shape has been one of the most popular for 50 years. The longer nose than tail allows the board to excel in powder riding, gliding and carving with great stability in variable snow conditions.
- Flex 8/10
Technology
- Premium Sandwich Construction - next level construction, increases performance and response of standard Sandwich construction. Adding advanced materials like carbon and kevlar gives the board more pop and improves shock absorption.
- 4 × 2/6 Inserts - with 6 rows of inserts every 2 cm, this combination is the industry standard and works with all bindings on the market.
- Walnut Wood Veneer Topsheet - this top sheet of veneer wood provides additional sensitivity and is the most natural way to find the best balance between vibration absorption and pop.
- Triax Plus Fiberglass - Triaxial 45° lamination features varying density of fiberglass for consistent torsional flex, stronger pop and increased response in every arc.
- Master Core - Master Core is the result of a long history of experience in materials and woodworking. It is a perfect harmony of different wood densities and varieties (poplar, beech, spruce and paulownia), resulting in an excellent weight-to-performance ratio and a strong, extremely responsive, light core.
- N-7000 Base - developed exclusively for Nidecker; an extremely tough, sintered base with added carbon nanoparticles that provide exceptional glide.
- Pop Carbon Plus - Double the amount of carbon fiber, located on both sides of the core and running from the nose to the tail, creating twice the amount of pop and liveliness.

How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead. Not sure how stiff your snowboard is? Ask us!
Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
