Description

The Salomon HPS – Sickstick Snowboard is a pow hungry freerider with enough freestyle flair to satisfy the needs of riders who have graduated from the park. Its tapered twin shape strikes the right balance for playful riding in natural terrain, with a responsive flex to keep things composed when the runout on that big switch landing is a little spicier than expected.

Rocker Type

Rock Out CamberFlat between your bindings for stability, camber near the feet for response, and rocker on the tip/tail for pressability.

Flex

Flex Rating4 (1 Soft – 5 Stiff)

Shape

Tapered TwinTail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves flotation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.

Quadralizer SidecutExplosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic sidecuts allows high speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots.

Core

Ghost Green CoreGhost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing sustainable attributes of a super light paulownia wood.

PopsterPopster’s shaped core profile 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.

Laminates

Biaxial Medium Density FiberglassMedium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.

ABC WrapperMore dampening, less plastic ! ABC Wrapper is a process using wood veneers to reduce fiberglass in each board.

Sidewalls

Recycled ABS SidewallsThe molecular structure of ABS can be described as a concrete bar with rubber nuggets inside, combining toughness for energy transfer and dampening properties for impact absorption.

Base

Sintered EGEngineered 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 FinishFine stone finish helps speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.

Edges

All-Mountain Edge BevelA 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.
