Product Info

For a powder board with a little more versatility, you can't go wrong with the Salomon HPS - Takaharu Nakai Snowboard. The tapered directional shape is more all-purpose than a swallowtail but still has tons of float thanks to the wide waist and rockered nose. Powder Camber gives your back foot precise control when you're leaning back in deep pow and the Quadratic Sidecut makes for easy edge-to-edge transitions despite the width. Salomon's Hillside Project has some crazy good boards and Takaharu Nakai's design earns it place in that esteemed lineup.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Powder CamberCamber between feet for carving and precision, and huge rocker in the nose for flotation in very deep powder.

Flex

Flex Rating3 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)

Shape

Tapered DirectionalTail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves floatation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.

Radial SidecutRadial is the classic sidecut for consistent response forward and switch.

Core

Ghost Green CoreGhost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing sustainable attributes of a super light paulownia wood.

PopsterPopster's shaped core profile thins out under foot and thickens outside your bindings before tapering again at tip and tail to maximize the natural snap and pop of wood. Feels like your skateboard kicktail finally connected with your snowboard.

FSC® Certified Wood Core

Laminates

Ghost Carbon StringersCarbon stringers sewn into a triaxial layer of fiberglass for reactive pop and damp stability.

ABC WrapperABC Wrapper is a patented process using structural bamboo veneers to reduce fiberglass and resin content in each board by 40%.

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

Sidewalls

Bamboo / Cork RailsThe liveliness of eco-friendly bamboo, mixed with cork composite for the best direct feel and dampening ride in the industry.

Base

Sintered EGEngineered 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

Fine Stone FinishFine stone finish helps speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.

Edges

All-Mountain Edge BevelsA 1° edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut meets a 2° bevel between the feet. This delivers the most solid edge hold with no hang-ups.
