There are several reasons why it is great for freeriding. First of all, its tapered directional shape provides enormous lift and easy turn initiation. Then, its unusual

Camber:
- Backseat Camber (Camber+Rocker) : Underfoot camber at the rear for explosive turns and flat segments underfoot for lots of fun on powder days. The best of both worlds without any unwanted vibrations.
Shape:
- Tapered Directional : The width of the tail is slightly tapered (2-20 mm). This allows smoother turning and improves lift in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hard snow.
- Rocket Science: More stable/maneuverable boards: rocker at the ends for a more playful feel.
- Quadratic: This elliptical curve-based sidecut allows for easy turn entry, smooth direction changes and seamless edge-to-edge transitions.
- All-mountain EB: The edge angle is softened at the tips, while the edge drop is 1 degree on the key parts of the sidecut and increases to 2 degrees between the feet. The result is impeccable cornering without the slightest hitch.
Core:
- Popster: Preformed wood core profile with different thicknesses at strategic points. The result is an optimisation of the natural tension and relaxing properties of the wood. You will finally feel like your skateboard kicktail connected with your snowboard.
- Aspen SLCT: Every single wood strip is hand selected by experts. An assurance of quality and lightness.
Technology:
- High quality stone finish: Particularly effective on our sintered EG base, this precise stone finish increases speed in powder and soft snow.
- Sintered sole: This material provides a good balance between the speed created by the hard surface and the excellent hold of the wax.
- Damplifier: The cork and ABS insert in the nose helps to absorb vibrations for greater smoothness at high speeds.
- Compatibility: 4x2 inserts
La Super 8 possède un caractère ultra polyvalent, elle procure un ride tout en maitrise que ce soit sur les pistes ou en dehors. Le cambre sous le pied arrière donne une explosivité incroyable en virages et les transitions de carres à carres se font tout en souplesse. Le flex intermédaire permet d'avoir une board précise, sans pour autant avoir à appuyer de toutes ses forces dessus.
Un vrai plaisir à rider en hors-piste, grâce notamment à son shape directionnel qui maintient le nose au dessus de la neige, tandis que le tail ancré amène une maniabilité accrue.
Idéale pour se perfectionner, c'est une board accrocheuse qui en a aussi sous le pied lorsqu'on a envie d'accélérer. Plaisir etpuissance sont les maitres mots de cette Super 8 !
Les Plus : Progressive, stable et polyvalente
Les Moins : RAS dans son programme
