Salomon HPS Takaharu Nakai E.P. 2025

The HPS Takaharu Nakai E.P. is a soft, agile freeride snowboard built for deep snow. Its tapered directional shape combines an elongated nose with a tapered tail, while the Powder Camber profile delivers precise carving underfoot and powerful rocker-driven float in deep powder.

Despite its powder-focused design, the board remains nimble and easy to steer in everyday conditions. The lightweight Ghost Green Core, Popster profile and carbon stringers provide lively pop and stability, while bamboo-and-cork rails and Damplifier Lite construction add a smooth, controlled ride. It suits riders who prioritize freeride performance, buoyancy and relaxed maneuverability across changing snow conditions.
