This true park board with a classic blunt shape was conceived to handle whatever the Mindnich brothers can throw at it. The mix of precision, response, and forgiveness provided by EQ Rad and Quad Camber for pop and versatile flex capabilities. Ready for side hits, park jumps, tree jibs, cat tracks, and throw the kitchen sink in there too.
Riding Style
Freestyle - From rails and kickers in the park and booters in the backcountry to street rails at night. This is gonna be the right choice.
Shape
Freestyle specific True Twin: Identical tip/tail lengths and shapes, symmetrical core profiling, flex and a centred binding stance. Spin, stomp, and butter with a greater balance of freestyle mobility and cat-like stability no matter which way you point it. At the EQ Rad sidecut, equalizer and radial lines blend for the perfect balance of agility and fun.
Profile
The Quad Camber profile features the aggressive characteristics of camber blended with rocker on the tip and tail. Quad Camber is built with a blend of different radii and is more forgiving than a regular camber but maintains the reactivity and pop.
Flex
Happy in the medium, perfect for shredding everything, stable enough to go fast and big, yet flexible enough to press and butter.
Construction
The Sintered Base is engineered 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. TriaxGlass is a new fibre tech that increases board solidity and provides more response thanks to a stiffer structure. Maximise the natural snap and powerful pop of wood with Popster’s shaped core profile. Feels like your skateboard kicktail finally connected with your snowboard. At the Aspen SLCT core, every single FSC certified wood strip is hand selected to ensure unparalleled core quality and lightness. The Slingshot sidewalls feature Carbon inlays that help load and release energy which provides reactivity under the feet. Freestyle Edge Bevel means detuning the tip and tail to a 2-degree edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut, back to a 3-degree bevel between the feet. This delivers the complete blend of edge hold and park shred.
This board is also available in 'Wide' version. These are wider than normal boards and developed especially for snowboarders with large feet (EU size 44+) to avoid too much overhang of the boots. Wider boards also give you better float in powder.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.

Salomon began their journey in the French Alps in 1947 and their values have stayed the same since day 1: "Curious, playful and optimistic but focused, dedicated and passionate all the same." As one of the backbones of the ski and snowboard industry, Salmon strive to connect people with nature in a playful yet progressive way, much in the same way as we do.
