They say: Every year “girl-power” has increased and the Divine matches that.
We say: A nice, easy-going twin pitched at piste-cruisers who like to dive into the park or dip their toes in the pow occasionally. A classic all-rounder with a nice forgiving flex and profile.
Tester says: Stable on an edge and carves really nicely. Not the most playful, but a lot of fun.

About Nidecker
- Building boards since: 1984
- HQ in: Rolle, Switzerland
- History lesson: Nidecker is the oldest company on this list. Started in 1887 the company made its first few bucks flogging carts to Swiss peasants. In 1912, a far-sighted Henri Nidecker saw the potential in sliding on snow and made his first skis. A few generations later, a younger Henri Nidecker was similarly quick of the mark with snowboards, making his first ones in 1984. Nidecker was big in the early nineties, but then kind of went off the boil a bit. It wasn’t until recently, when another, even younger Henri Nidecker took over that the company regained its snowboarding mojo.
- Ridden by: The Skoda of snowboard brands, Nidecker used to be a brand for nice, competent, but ever-so-slightly dull Swiss types. These days though, with its Pammy Anderson and Antti Autti lines, anything goes.
