In short

The HPS Takaharu Nakai E.P. embodies a soft and agile freeride board, featuring an elongated nose and tapered tail that ensure exceptional buoyancy on the deepest snow days. Although it is recommended to ride this board 3-5 cm longer, it maintains remarkable agility and maneuverability in regular conditions, courtesy of its tapered directional shape and the combination of Powder Camber and a radial sidecut.

In detail

PROFILE

  • Powder Camber
    Camber between the feet for carving and precision, and huge rocker on nose for floatation on very deep powder.

CORE

  • Ghost Green Core
    Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing sustainable attributes of a super light paulownia wood.

  • Popster
    Maximize the natural snap and powerful pop of wood with Popster’s shaped core profile. Feels like your skateboard kicktail finally connected with your snowboard.

REINFORCEMENTS

  • Damplifier Lite
    Lightweight materials combined and strategically placed in the tip and tail for better floatation, less inertia for easier steering and more control and increased dampening and shock resistance.

  • Ghost Carbon Stringers
    Carbon stringers are sewn into a triax layer for reactive pop and stability at speed, and easy maneuverability when you’re keeping it mellow.

  • Bamboo + Cork Rails
    The liveliness of eco friendly bamboo mixed with cork composite, for the best direct feel and dampening ride in the industry.

 

BASE

  • Sintered EG
    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.

SIDEWALL

  • All Mountain Edge Bevel
    From detuning the tip and tail to a 1-degree edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut, back to a 2-degree bevel between the feet. This delivers the most solid edge hold with no hang-ups.

  • ABC Wrapper
    More pop, less plastic! ABC Wrapper is a patented process using structural bamboo veneers to reduce fiberglass and resin content in each board by 40%. Traditional ABS sidewalls get the axe — replaced instead by waterproof Bamboo rods.
