NAGARE STIX

流 (RYU) is the flat camber model of Takaharu Nakai's NAGARE STIX, released for 2026-27 after more than a year of testing.

Shop test reports describe it as a powder freeriding board for powder lovers and surfers. With a flat sole it goes straight into the next turn without the unweighting movement a cambered board needs, so it is easy to handle, and it moves smoothly with less resistance in powder. It is set stiffer than the 戯 (GI) for stability despite the flat profile, starts sliding smoothly, follows terrain well and has a firm, supportive tail. Nakai is reported to ride the 流 on the piste and the 戯 in the mountains.

Official spec card: overall length 1610 mm, nose length 285, tail length 145, nose width 310, waist 263, tail width 293, multi-radius sidecut 9.7 / 8.5 m, flat camber, stance 485 / 525 / 565 mm, flex 5.

Produced in small numbers; shops reported their 2026-27 allocation sold out on pre-order.

戯 (GI) is the camber model of Takaharu Nakai's NAGARE STIX, released for 2026-27 after more than a year of testing.

Shop test reports call it, in effect, the successor to Nakai's Salomon HPS signature boards: a high-performance board that links ollies off terrain, drop-ins, upward jumps off walls and transitions, and high-speed carving one after another, and goes straight into powder as well; an all-round board in the snowboarding sense. It is slightly longer than the 流 (RYU) with a wider tail, and its rebound is easier to feel on an ollie. One tester noted that although the spec sheet says only "camber", it rides like a nose rocker with a low camber. Nakai is reported to ride the 流 on the piste and the 戯 in the mountains.

Official spec card: overall length 1620 mm, nose length 285, tail length 150, nose width 310, waist 263, tail width 294, multi-radius sidecut 9.5 / 8.3 m, camber, stance 490 / 530 / 570 mm, flex 4.
