Sell me the Dinghy!

Feel like this will me my next board for some ol’man mellow turns on Japow morning groomers, tree runs and just chilling in low-angle powder.

At ~90kgs, US10.5 I assume the 160 is probably the go to size?

How does it hold an edge out of interest?

Looking for something that is just a bit bigger than the 156 Niseko Pleasure’s I have.

Top 1 underrated board by Angry for 26. Should be enough of a reason to buy one
Must say the Basher seems pretty under the radar too, while being that bridge between twin and short fat a lot of us have been looking for. I might be in the market for a pow skate.

 

I regret that I sold my first year Banker(the other look like shit beside second year)
Still have my Nitro Naturals 164 from 2000. Beast of a board.

 

Nice, diggin' the stiletto, and I really like that T1 board art

 

Really sweet board art this year.

 

Much appreciated. I'll pass it on to the artists

 

Hey @NitroAndrew - can you confirm whether the Dinghy has the 3D Surftech? I see some sites where it mentions it does and others with nothing.

The Nintro Dinghy page makes no mention of it in the summary or tech features which I find odd if it does have it, but with the Slash it’s mentioned everywhere.

 

The Dinghy does not have 3D Surf Tech.

 

So Nitro did reach out again via messenger and clarified that the two blue W25 and the yellow W24 gave 3D SurfTech but not the W26 Orange for anyone interested

 

Whole thing is confusing. Can someone post an actual photo of a 25 with the 3D? I have a 24 (which is grey, not orange, has a sailboat graphic), it is definitely NOT 3D.

The way Nitro describes it, the '3D surf tech' also seems to have a concave tail. Doubt the dinghy ever had that.

 

Phantoms are looking good for next year! I've got last year's - that footbed+airbag is phenomenal, the "won't damage your topsheet" (I don't recall what it's officially called, but the rolled edges on the underside of the base plate), and that non-cupping highback make for a fun, forgiving, pretty surfy binding. Nice work.

This and the Union Ultra are my two go-to's for low speed, lazy after-it's softened Aussie resort carving
