Hps - Louif Paradis 2024
60 days to change your mindThe HPS is an all-mountain/freeride board for men from Salomon Snowboard. This top-of-the-range snowboard was developed by Wolle in collaboration with Mr Louif Paradis, inspired by his experience of freeriding and urban snowboarding!
Proof of quality, if proof were needed, is that the HPS incorporates carefully selected natural materials in its construction, such as cork and bamboo , which provide explosiveness and responsiveness in turns, while fibreglass adds quality and lightness to the board.
The HPS is stable and manoeuvrable thanks to its centred stance and its shape Directional shape, which gives the board superb lift in powder conditions and excellent agility for a series of turns. This board won't let you down, whether you're taking advantage of the best pow pow spots or carving on the slopes when the fresh snow isn't there. Its camber
And if you want to throw some tricks on your line, the core is thicker under the bindings and thinner at the ends and under the foot, to give you maximum pop give you maximum pop.
The HPS is a real all-rounder, perfect for experienced riders who love powder fields as much as they love getting in the air, or even trying their hand at powsurfing!

Cambre :
Rock Out Camber (Camber+Rocker): Flat profile between the bindings for stability, camber underfoot for responsiveness and a rocker at both ends to optimise pressability. The Rock Out Camber is designed for high-level performance in the snow park thanks to its blend of flat profiles, camber and rockers for comfort underfoot and very responsive turn initiation.
Shape :
Tapered Directional: The tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turn initiation and improves flotation in deeper snow without sacrificing grip on hard snow.
- Quadralizer : The explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic means you can carve at great speed and gives you exceptional edge control during narrow passages.
- All-mountain EB: The angle of the edges is softened at the ends, with a 1-degree bevel on the key parts of the sidecut, which then drops to a 2-degree bevel between the feet. As a result, this snowboard has impeccable hold in turns without any edge catches.
Core:
- Popster : Preformed wood core profile with different thicknesses at strategic points. The result: optimising the natural liveliness and spring of the wood. It will feel like the kicktail of your skateboard is finally connected to your snowboard.
- Ghost Green Core: Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimise pop and reduce weight while using the hardwearing qualities of superlight paulownia wood.
Technologies:
- High quality stone finish : Our fine stone finish is particularly efficient on our Sintered EG base, speeds up in powder or softer snow conditions.
- Sintered sole: This material provides both speed created by a hard surface and good wax retention.
- Fibre and resin : Biaxial medium-density glass fibre.
- Coating: ABC Wrapper
- Cork and bamboo edges : Dynamic and environment-friendly, bamboo, combined with a cork composite, offers the most direct sensations and the best cushioning among all the boards on the market.
- Compatibility: 4x2 inserts
