Salomon HPS Takahru Nakai E.P. Snowboard

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.

BOARD PROFILE: Powder Camber

A directional camber profile with a long, extended rocker section in the nose for buoyancy in deep snow, with camber between the feet for carving, stability, and control.

TOPSHEET: ABC Wrapper

More pop, less plastic! ABC Wrapper is a patented process using structural wood veneers to reduce fiberglass and resin content in each board by 40%.

SIDECUT: Radial

Created from a perfect circle, Radial is the classic sidecut for consistent response forward and switch.

FIBER & RESIN: BA MD fiberglass

Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.

ADDITIVES: Damplifier lite

A combination of lightweight cork and honeycomb are strategically placed in the tip for better float, lower swing weight, and increased dampening and shock resistance.

ADDITIVES: Ghost Carbon stringers

Carbon stringers are sewn into a triax layer for reactive pop and stability at speed, and easy maneuverability when you’re keeping it mellow.

ADDITIVES: Popster

The core is strategically milled inside of the insert packs, allowing the board to flex more naturally underfoot and transfer energy into the nose and tail for added pop.

BASE MATERIAL: Sintered EG

Engineered for fast glide speed and maximum wax retention in all conditions. Gallium strengthens impact resistance, while the Electra finish enhances speed.

CORE TYPE: 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 wood.

BASE FINISHING: Fine stone finish

Our fine stone finish is particularly efficient on our Sintered EG base, speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.

BASE FINISHING: Natural wax

A paraffin-free wax compound made from natural ingredients. A non-pollutant compound held to the highest standards of glide speed.

EDGE FINISHING: All mountain EB

All mountain ready, right out of the wrapper. Equipped with a 1-degree bevel in the nose and tail and a 2-degree bevel between the feet for superior edge hold and no hang ups.

SUSPENSION: Bamboo + Cork Rails

The liveliness of eco friendly bamboo mixed with cork composite, for the best direct feel and dampening ride in the industry.
