Salomon Man Board Snowboard 2012

Comments about Salomon Man Board Snowboard 2012:

Had to try out the Man's Board just for the name alone. Also felt like getting nostalgic and testing out a traditional camber board. If your a traditionalists and aren't buying into all the new gimmicks then this is the perfect board for you. This board does everything right the old fashion way. From the looks of the shape it appears to be a powder board but it handles groomers with knife like precision. Fun board, really it just boils down to whether or not your into rocker. I think Salomon is banking on the fact that there's still a large number of people that prefer traditional camber. Personally I like both, traditional seems to me to be more stable at any speed while reverse camber gives you a little more lift in powder. If you don't get to float on powder everyday you ride then a traditional camber board could be the better board for you. I would recommend this board to the beginner to intermediate rider and for the traditionalists.

This new board from Salomon hits the nail on the head! With the majority of the board being cambered this board loads up a clean ollie, holds a great edge, and is predictable. It does exactly what you want it to do. However the light rocker and long nose/tail kicks makes it float effortlessly in pow. I was extremely impressed with how well it handled in a range of environments. It charged pow, high speed groomers, natural terrain, jumps, and Jibs. So far I'd have to say this is the best board of the year!

This board rips! With the rocker and crazy edge craze right now it's refreshing to jump on a board with Camber and Radial Sidecut. It's so predictable and consistent, you'll find yourself trying things you never thought you could pull off. The long nose kicks and touch of rocker in the nose and tail help you out in the pow too. If you like to slash and ollie, get the Man's Board!
