Part of the Salomon Hillside Collection, the 2021 Salomon HPS snowboard has been designed & crafted by Wolfgang Nyvelt and pro snowboarder Takaharu Nakai for the ultimate backcountry freeride experience. This unique tapered directional board is extremely nimble and smooth, perfect for slashing through deep pow!

The HPS - Takaharu Nakai snowboard features Bamboo + Cork rails, the combination of cork and bamboo adds liveliness to the board while creating a dampening effect for awesome direct feel. Salomon's Radial Sidecut utilises a classic circular shape, this will enable riders to get a consistent response whether riding switch or regular.

Built using the Ghost Green Core, Salomon use carefully selected materials to optimise pop & performance whilst reducing weight. This combined with super light & sustainable Paulownia wood, plus the Biaxial medium density fibreglass layup ensures a consistent lively board feel and performance through the life of the board.

Salomon's Popster tech shapes the core to maximise the natural snap of the wood. To do this the wood core is thicker at the centre of the board then tapers out to thinner sections then thickens again towards the nose and tail, this creates an insane amount of powerful pop! For even more pop, Ghost Carbon Stringers are placed from tip to tail. This will enhance stability at high speeds and will feel mellow for easy maneuverability.

Salomon's Powder Camber profile uses traditional positive camber between the feet, perfect for precise carving and a huge rocker on the nose for insane flotation in deep pow and the lightning fast sintered EG base gives you silky-smooth glide on fresh powder and top speed on the groomers.

Overall the HPS - Takaharu Nakai snowboard features amazing tech to turn you into a backcountry master, this is the ultimate go-to board for off-piste powder fun!
