The Nidecker brand has never enjoyed a strong market presence outside of Europe, and what they're doing to address that factor is really impressive. Alongside the newly launched Slash snowboards and NOW bindings, they manufacture YES and Jones snowboards - so their quality credentials speak for themselves. I think we can expect big things in the future from Nidecker Snowboards.

I wonder if Gigi's boards will be manufactured in Switzerland (YES) or Tunisia (Jones)?

I think #1 might be Gigi's pro model, since the camber picture beside it looks like a full camber and Gigi likes full camber according to an interview.
