About the Salomon HPS Louif Paradis
Part of the Salomon Hillside Collection, the Salomon HPS snowboard has been designed & crafted by Wolfgang Nyvelt and pro snowboarder Louif Paradis, who describes his riding as a hybrid of both freestyle and freeride, which is exactly what this snowboard represents.
The HPS - Louif Paradis snowboard features Bamboo + Cork rails, the combination of cork and bamboo adds liveliness to the board while creating a dampening effect for an awesome direct feel. Salomon's Quadralizer Sidecut is a combination of their Equalizer and Quadratic sidecuts which allows high-speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots.
Built using the Ghost Green Core, Salomon use carefully selected materials to optimize pop & performance whilst reducing weight. This combined with super light & sustainable Paulownia wood, plus the Biaxial medium-density fiberglass layup ensures a consistent lively board feels and performance through the life of the board.
Salomon's Popster tech shapes the core to maximize the natural snap of the wood. To do this the wood core is thicker at the center 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 Rock Out Camber profile is flat between the bindings for stability, with Camber near the feet for response and a rocker on the tip/tail and the lightning-fast sintered EG base gives you silky-smooth glide on fresh powder and top speed on the groomer.
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!
