Salomon HPS - Louif Paradis Snowboard 2023 Features & Specifications:
- BOARD PROFILE: Rock Out Camber
- Flat between your bindings for stability, Camber near the feet for response and a rocker on the tip/tail for pressability.
- SIDECUT: Quadralizer
- Explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic allows high speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots.
- TOPSHEET: ABC Wrapper
- More pop, less plastic! ABC Wrapper is a patented process using structural wood veneers to reduce fiberglass and resin content in each board by 40%.
- SHAPE: Tapered directional
- Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves floatation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
- FIBER & RESIN: BA MD fiberglass
- Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
- ADDITIVES: Popster
- The core 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.
- BASE MATERIAL: Sintered EG
- Engineered for fast glide speed and maximum wax retention in all conditions. Gallium strengthens impact resistance, while the Electra finish enhances speed.
- CORE TYPE: 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 wood.
- CORE TYPE: FSC certified woodcore
- FSC certified wood comes from forests that meet the highest environmental and social standards, supporting sustainable forest management.
- BASE FINISHING: Fine stone finish
- Our fine stone finish is particularly efficient on our Sintered EG base, speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
