NIDECKER FAQS
What size Nidecker boot do I need?
Start with your usual size, then check our Nidecker boot size chart. Nidecker makes a specific liner, shell and footbed for each full and half size, so if you're between sizes it's worth trying both. Come in and we'll fit you.
What size Supermatic do I need?
Supermatic comes in S, M, L and XL, matched to your boot size. Nidecker notes that some boots are bulkier than others, so if you're near the edge of a size, go up one. Bring your boots in and we'll check the fit.
Will Supermatic work with my boots and board?
Nidecker designed Supermatic to work with any snowboard boot from any brand. It ships with the Offset Multi-Disk, which mounts on 4x4, 4x2 and channel boards.
Can I rotate the highback on a Supermatic?
No. Highback rotation isn't supported on Supermatic because of the speed entry design, but forward lean is adjustable. We'll set it up for you in store.
Can I pick up in store or return it?
Yes, you can pick up from our Richmond showroom. For returns and exchanges, everything you need is in our returns policy.

Anon goggles. Great advice from staff, and prompt delivery. Love the goggles. Thanks 12 Board Store. .

Excellent Anon Magna-tech feature and light level
I needed a new lens for my Anon M4 goggles and I already had a Perceive variable green and variable blue, so I went with the variable violet! I never really have any need for the cloudy or sunny spectrum of lenses.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Strong intermediate to advanced riders who like going fast and carving hard. It's a stiff, full camber directional board built for edge hold, high-speed stability and steep lines, so it gives back a lot when you drive it and feels like hard work if you don't.
Beginners and riders who mostly cruise or want a playful park board should look elsewhere. If you've been riding a softer all-mountain board and keep wanting more grip and stability at speed, the Thruster is a logical step up.
This is where it shines. Tip-to-tail camber, Triax Plus glass and Pop Carbon stringers give it serious grip and snap when you lay it over on hardpack, so icy mornings at Hotham, Falls Creek or Thredbo feel a lot more locked in. The Absorbnid topsheet damps vibration on chattery, scraped-off runs.
In softer spring snow, SideKick tech lifts the contact points slightly for smoother turn entry, and the N-9000 sintered base holds wax well and stays quick through slush.
Both are directional freeride boards, but they suit different priorities. The Thruster is full camber from tip to tail, built around a Light Core with Pop Carbon stringers, and is all about edge hold and carving power on the groomers and steeps.
The Megalight uses a CamRock profile with rocker in the nose and a tapered shape, plus carbon and titanium reinforcement, so it floats better in deep snow and runs even lighter and stiffer. Mostly resort carving in Australia? Thruster. Chasing powder trips to Japan or Canada? Lean Megalight.
We carry the Thruster in 156cm and 158cm. Nidecker's own advice is to size up for more edge control at speed and size down for a more nimble, reactive feel. Being a stiff, directional board, most riders choose a length suited to charging rather than going short.
Weight is the main factor, followed by boot size to make sure you're not getting toe or heel drag. If you're between sizes or unsure, call us on 03 9421 2293 or come into our Richmond store at 435A Bridge Rd and we'll talk it through.
