The Salomon HPS Takaharu Nakai Snowboard is a unique and powerful board designed by snowboarding legends Wolfgang Nyvelt and Takaharu Nakai. This board features a tapered directional profile with a Powder Camber profile and rocker on the nose, providing exceptional floatation and maneuverability in deep snow. The Quadratic Sidecut ensures smooth and effortless turns, while the explosive Popster core delivers a responsive and powerful ride.
Popster Core Profile - Maximize the natural snap and powerful pop of wood with Popster's shaped core profiles. Feels like your skateboard kicktail finally connected with your snowboard kit.
BA MD Fiberglass - Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
Ghost Carbon Stringers - Carbon stringers are sewn into a triax layer for reactive pop, stability at speed and easy maneuverability when you're keeping it mellow.
Fine Stone Finish - Salomon's fine stone finish is particularly efficient in Salomon's Sintered EG base, speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
All Mountain Edge Bevel - All Mountain Edge Bevel detunes the tip and tail to a 1° edge, holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut, back to a 2° bevel between the feet. This delivers the most solid edge hold with no hang-ups.
Radial Sidecut - Created from a perfect circle. Radial is the classic sidecut for consistent response forward and switch.
Damplifier - Cork and ABS inserts on the nose help absorb vibrations or a smoother ride at high speeds.
