Salomon Super 8 Snowboard
Salomon Super 8 Snowboard
Shoot for the movies on the Salomon Super 8 Snowboard, inspired by pro rider Josh Dirsken's need to dig in his edges and go for it. Whether you're cruising groomers or relaxing into the pow, its quadratic sidecut initiates turns with ease, and classic camber gives you a versatile ride that carves like a champ.
Backseat Camber – Camber loaded under the back foot for precision and control, with flat segments under the front foot for superior floatation in deep snow. The best of both worlds!
Flex
Flex Rating – 4 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
Shape
Tapered Directional – Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves floatation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
Quadratic Sidecut – Quadratic sidecuts use 3 or more radii instead of a continuous radial sidecut. The radii of the sidecut is shallower at the ends and deeper in the middle, which promotes easier turn initiation.
Core
Aspen Select Core – Every single FSC certified wood strip is hand selected to ensure unparalleled core quality and lightness.
Popster – Popster's shaped core profile thins out under foot and thickens outside your bindings before tapering again at tip and tail to maximize the natural snap and pop of wood. Feels like your skateboard kicktail finally connected with your snowboard.
FSC® Certified Wood Core
Laminates
Biaxial Medium Density Fiberglass – Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
C/FX Basalt – Take down of the C/FX superfiber. This version of the C/FX is composed of Basalt & fiber glass for power and smooth ride.
Damplifier – Lightweight honey comb materials and cork combined and strategically placed in the tip and tail for better flotation, less inertia for easier steering, more control, and increased dampening and shock resistance.
Sidewalls
Recycled ABS Sidewalls – The molecular structure of ABS can be described as a concrete bar with rubber nuggets inside, combining toughness for energy transfer and dampening properties for impact absorption.
Base
Fine Stone Finish – Fine stone finish helps speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.
Sintered Base – Provides a moderate balance between the speed created by a hard surface and good wax retention.
