This year Nordica created the Ace of Spades Competition, a slightly more VIP and aggressive version of its popular Ace of Spades. Maintaining the same dimensions as the traditional AOS, the Comp will only be available in a 184 mm length and is a finely tuned tool. Both AOS versions have full woodcores complemented by a sheet of titanium to increase strength and durability. But the Comp has carbon inlays in front of and behind the foot to increase pop, as evidenced by Alex Schlopy popping off any X Games jump. Simply put, the Comp “means nothing but business. Park business.”
