Crafted and assembled by acclaimed snowboard legends Wolfgang Nyvelt and Takaharu Nakai, this board boasts a one-of-a-kind tapered directional profile with a Powder Camber base and ample rocker on the nose, making it fantastically agile and seamless. For a versatile powder board, the Salomon HPS - Takaharu Nakai Snowboard is unbeatable. Its tapered directional shape is more versatile than a swallowtail while still providing excellent float thanks to its wide waist and rockered nose. The Powder Camber design gives you precise control over your back foot in deep pow, while the Quadratic Sidecut ensures effortless edge-to-edge transitions, even with its wider shape. Part of Salomon's Hillside Project, this board is a wild and fearless addition to the esteemed lineup thanks to Takaharu Nakai's incredible design.
Board Type: Powder
Camber Type: Powder Camber – Camber between feet for carving and precision, and huge rocker in the nose for flotation in very deep powder.
Flex: 7.5/10 (stiffer)
Base: Sintered EG – Engineered for a super fast glide in everything from fresh pow to sticky spring snow. Sintered material provides superior wax retention, Gallium strengthens impact resistance, and the Electra finish gives a turbocharged glide
Shape: Tapered Directional – Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves floatation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
Core: Ghost Green Core – Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing sustainable attributes of a super light paulownia wood.
Glass: Ghost Carbon Stringers – Carbon stringers sewn into a triaxial layer of fiberglass for reactive pop and damp stability.
Additional Features:
ABC Wrapper – ABC Wrapper is a patented process using structural bamboo veneers to reduce fiberglass and resin content in each board by 40%.
Biaxial Medium Density Fiberglass – Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
