DESCRIPTION
The Salomon HPS – Takaharu Nakai Snowboard extends the fluid and adaptable powder shape of the original Taka x Wolle colab boards by 161 cm. Sure, any snowboard with a reasonable width is easy to adore in a foot of pow, but the new Taka is out of this world. The Taka floats like a butterfly yet has the courage to drive deep thanks to its deep 30mm setback and characteristic rounded tail.
PRODUCT DETAILS
Rocker Type
Powder Camber – Camber between feet for carving and precision, and huge rocker in the nose for flotation in very deep powder.
Flex
Flex Rating – 3 (1 Soft – 5 Stiff)
Shape
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.
Core
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.
Laminates
ABC Wrapper – ABC Wrapper is a patented process using structural bamboo veneers to reduce fiberglass and resin content in each board by 40%.
Sidewalls
Bamboo / Cork Rails – The liveliness of eco-friendly bamboo, mixed with cork composite for the best direct feel and dampening ride in the industry.
Base
Sintered EG – Engineered for a super fast glide in everything from fresh pow to sticky spring snow. Sintered material provides superior wax retention, Gallium strengthens impact resistance, and the Electra finish gives a turbocharged glide.
Fine Stone Finish – Fine stone finish helps speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
Edges
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.
Binding Compatibility
2 x 4 Insert Pattern
