Boards are all molded to this day :)
Around 60% is finished, and the rest of the series are in the finishing process ( varnishing, sanding etc..).

Next week ( early november) we will be able to officially number the stock and process the orders and send you all the pre-invoices. Meanwhile the boards will leave the factory to be stored in a tempered and high tech wharehouse with controlled humidity ! From there the orders will be shipped QUICKLY by batch around twice or three times a week if needed. :)

After this, orders will be much quicker and it shall take a week in europe to process and receive the order :)

thnx for your patience :)

Yeah! It sounds now like You are going in Switzerland in any snowboard-store, asking for a Nidecker Snowboard. Even when the store hasn't it on stock, its sounds always: please come again tomorrow, we well have it then! It seems, that is a high custom relationship standard level we have with Nidecker in Switzerland. (simmilar also with F2-Boards)
Gliding on Snowboards,
like Pogo, Kessler, Virus, Hot, Nidecker and others,
from 151 up to 183 cm and 14 to 27.4 cm width,
covering any kind of shapes with
any kind of boots and bindings.

Tom:
161 are not in the pipes now... first we manage the first production, then we think of how to finance the 161's and work on the next project we have :) which is going to be good and different !.. But if we can work with Nidecker on finding an acceptable minimum number of boards to press for the 161 we will do it !

As for the quick BtoC scheme we are trying to make, it is the result of all those years of waiting for the boards... its not acceptable now and we worked hard to find this quick reaction force :)... It might take a few weeks to tune but it will be like swiss watch : tic tic tic tic :).
