2025 Nidecker Astral Womens Snowboard

The womens' choice for all-mountain freestyle.

The board that fills the gap between the Venus and the Ora, this high performing board is the one board for everything in the womens range. Hands down this is the best value snowboard and is approachable even for a promising beginner to a solid intermediate rider that wants to explore the whole mountain from park to powder. 

The Directional Twin CamRock profile means you can ride it in softer snow, but not miss out when getting some park laps in. The Triax glass means you get solid edge response without the board fighting  you back thanks to the middle flexing profile. If you want a genuine Quiver-Of-One and not break the bank then we couldn't think of a better platform.
