HPS - LOUIF PARADIS MEN'S SNOWBOARD - 2024
Louif describes his riding as hybrid, often combining elements of powder and manufactured structures, blending both street and freeride skills. Using his shaping expertise and Lou’s critical feedback during the proto process, Wolle created this tapered directional board built for freestyle tactics in deep terrain, satisfying Lou’s hybrid demand.
FEATURES:
- ROCK OUT CAMBER: Flat between your bindings for stability, Camber near the feet for response and a rocker on the tip/tail for pressability.
- TAPERED DIRECTIONAL SHAPE: Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves floatation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
- QUADRALIZER SIDECUT: Explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic allows high speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots.
- ABC WRAPPER TOPSHEET: More pop, less plastic! ABC Wrapper is a patented process using structural wood veneers to reduce fiberglass and resin content in each board by 40%.
- GHOST GREEN CORE: Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing attributes of a super light wood.
- POPSTER: The core is strategically milled inside of the insert packs, allowing the board to flex more naturally underfoot and transfer energy into the nose and tail for added pop.
- SINTERED EG BASE: Engineered for fast glide speed and maximum wax retention in all conditions. Gallium strengthens impact resistance, while the Electra finish enhances speed.
- BAMBOO + CORK RAILS: The liveliness of bamboo mixed with cork composite, for the best direct feel and dampening ride in the industry.
