Product Info
Every day in the mountains is its own story. From surprise storms to new friends sharing laughs, our connection to Nature is heightened when we hit the snow together. The Niche Story Snowboard was made by like-minded folks who know this very well. From its eco-friendly construction to graphics dealing with threatened lands, this board is an example of how we can better coexist with each other and our surroundings. With a slight taper and setback stance, this is an all-mountain beast. Traction bumps and a stiff directional flex profile help you hang on in critical situations, with camber-rocker-camber bringing the float and control. No matter where your story goes, this one definitely has a happy ending.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Multi-Camber – A camber medley which gives you the pop and edge control of regular camber with the float of reverse camber. Reverse camber between your feet and camber zones extending to the contact points for a super loose, catch-free feel.
Flex
Flex Rating: 7 – Stiff directional flex pattern. Powerful, snappy, and stable.
Shape
Directional – All-mountain performance with a slight taper. A setback stance and stiffened tail makes for a snappy board that can tackle the entire mountain.
Core
Sustainable Wood Core – A combination of paulownia, poplar, and bamboo.
Laminates
Basalt Stringers – Similar vibration dampening and pop characteristics to carbon fiber, but much more eco-friendly.
Recyclamine® Resin System – Niche's revolutionary new recycling system, utilizing their Snappy Sap Bio-Resin combined with Recyclamine®. All manufacturing wasted and end-of-life products will be reclaimed, recycled, and made into new products.
Snappy Sap™ Bio-Resin – More elastic and snappier than normal resin, it dampens vibrations and has extremely high adhesion properties to help keep your board from delaminating. Traditional resins can also be extremely toxic to people and the environment. As opposed to traditional petroleum-based materials, Snappy Sap is composed of bio-renewable materials from the industrial waste streams of the paper pulp and bio-fuels industries.
Sidewalls
Recycled ABS Sidewalls
Base
Recycled Sintered Base – Fast, strong, and smooth - like a good whiskey.
Edges
Recycled Steel Edges
Magne-Traction® | 7 Bumps – Extra edge contact points give your board more edge control and stability, especially in icy conditions. Working like the serrated edges of a knife, it fixes the "squirrely" feel that can come from reverse camber.
Topsheet
Digi-Print Topsheet – Direct digital print, lacquer-free, matte finish topsheet.
Graphics
Water-Based Inks – Non-toxic, solvent-free, uv-based inks.
Additional Features
Eco-Friendly Construction – From Snappy Sap™ Bio-Resins to recycled materials to sustainable wood cores, Niche's manufacturing process is the most environmentally friendly on the planet.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice. Freeride Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Camber/Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Camber/Rocker/Camber Camber/Rocker/Camber is a profile that’s specific to snowboards and which works because the rider’s weight flattens the two cambered areas. This design produces a strong, pressured carving zone between the rider’s feet and retains pop and carving precision at the tip and tail.

Flex Rating:
Stiff
More
Flex Rating
Stiff The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
