Every great snowboard product has a story – and more often than not, it starts with someone behind the scenes who lives and breathes the sport. The Real Ones is a new short film series from Nidecker that shines a light on these legends.

In this episode, we’re introduced to Maurizio Molin – a true original and the creative mind driving the Nidecker Snowboard Boot program.

Maurizio’s story is as unique as the boots he designs. With a background as a product manager at Burton, he brings a wealth of experience to his current role leading Nidecker’s boot program.

But his influence stretches far beyond job titles or product specs. From his home base in Italy, Maurizio is shaping the future of snowboard boots with the perfect blend of technical knowledge and artistic soul.

Whether he’s sketching new designs, experimenting with prototypes, or painting on canvas, Maurizio approaches every project with a deep sense of purpose and originality.

His design work is a reflection of who he is: thoughtful, meticulous, and endlessly creative. And when he needs to recharge, you’ll find him out on the Venetian lagoon, racing traditional boats – a pastime that speaks to his love of heritage, rhythm, and craftsmanship.

Here at Absolute-Snow, we’re genuinely stoked on the direction Nidecker boots are heading – and Maurizio is a massive part of that. His fresh vision and commitment to innovation are exactly why we’re so excited to offer Nidecker boots to our customers.

This short film, filmed and edited by Kyle Schwartz, captures the essence of a man who doesn’t just make boots – he makes statements. Statements of style, of quality, and of passion for the sport. Maurizio Molin is, without a doubt, one of the real ones.
