The snow is falling, and you must go! The Salomon HPS - Takaharu Nakai E.P. Snowboard is a soft and nimble freeride board built for riders who crave fluidity and agility in deep snow and challenging terrain. Featuring an extra-long nose, it excels in powder, offering exceptional float and stability while maintaining a playful, responsive feel. Designed to be ridden 3-5cm longer than your usual board, it helps maintain control at all times and provides a smooth, effortless ride on steep descents, wide-open lines, and cruising through trees. Gear up and head out!
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.
Flex Rating – 3 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
Tapered Directional – Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves flotation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
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.
Popster – Popster's shaped core profile 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.
ABC Wrapper – More dampening, less plastic ! ABC Wrapper is a process using wood veneers to reduce fiberglass in each board.
Damplifier Lite – Lightweight honey comb materials and cork combined and strategically placed in the tip and tail for better flotation, less inertia for easier steering, more control, and increased dampening and shock resistance.
BA MD Fiberglass
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.
50% Recycled Sintered Base – 50% recycled base materials! Reducing waste without sacrificing glide!
Fine Stone Finish – Fine stone finish helps speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
All-Mountain Edge Bevel – A 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.
30% Bio-based Resin – High performance with low environmental impact, this bio-based resin is made with 30% of its molecular structure derived from plants.
