RIDE IT OR FRAME IT: THE NEW TAPDECK FROM NIDECKER

MEET NIDECKER'S NEW TAPE DECK


The '90s called, and Nidecker answered. The new Tape Deck takes everything we loved about the golden age of freestyle snowboarding—true twin shape, wide waist, steep kicks—and brings it into the modern era.

Traditional camber delivers the pop, a featherweight core keeps things light, and carbon inlays add some extra snap. The blunt nose and tail make spinning, pressing, buttering, and jibbing your way through the mountain a little more fun. Basically, it's built for snowboarders who see a picnic bench and immediately start thinking about possibilities.

Now, let's talk about the graphics. Because, frankly, they might be our favorite part.

If you watched Nidecker's team movie Who Is Ned?, you're already familiar with the crew's mysterious mascot. This time, Glasgow skater and artist Danny McCormick decided Ned deserved a place in art history.

And not just any art history. We're talking Vermeer, Klimt, Van Gogh, Da Vinci, and Munch.



Street Tested, Rider Approved

Rail rippers Jed Sky and Sam Anderson have been riding the Tape Deck during filming for the upcoming Big Bruiser and Bomb Hole movies.

“The Tape Deck is such a solid all-around jibber. It has a real skateboard-like feel that’s perfect for playing around with butters, blocks, and small transitions. It’s sturdy and snappy, with a ton of pop, but you can still commit into presses.” – Jed Sky

“It’s aggressive while still being playful and light. The longer contact points give it the stability of a bigger board, and the blunted nose and tail look great underfoot. It’s a snowboard that makes getting to the park just as fun as being there.” – Sam Anderson
