Why We Like The Salomon HPS Takaharu Nakai EP Snowboard
The Salomon HPS Takaharu Nakai EP Snowboard brings speed, agility, and control to our freeride adventures with a directional camber profile and tapered directional shape. The extra-long nose design and tapered tail create better float through the deepest powder sections, while the radial sidecut creates a consistent response.

Refined!
Had some days on it & some feedback on how it lines up with the earlier Taka HPS. Still has the speed and glide that you would expect from a Taka. Where this board differs, is the way that it can finish a turn! The updated tail design and stiffer flex back there adds a great snap out of each turn that you load up. The overall flex of this board is softer than the current Taka, but that snap in the tail is noticeable. Also, don't be afraid to size up a bit!
