Salomon Super 8 Snowboard 2020

The Salomon Super 8 Snowboard is a freeride, powder, and groomer ripper for the rider in search of a deck with a little extra float and power. A setback stance shifts the riding position rearward for better nose lift when surfing through the soft stuff, which you'll appreciate when the forecast calls for sweet, sweet pow. C/FX Basalt reinforcement aids in rigidity and response for outstanding edge control at high speeds, while a premium sintered base with a fine stone finish helps to make your speed dreams a reality.

Details & Specs

Rocker Type: Backseat Camber – Camber under your back foot and a flat section at the nose, coupled with rocker at the tip and tail lends you maximum control for carving on groomers and a surf-like feel in powder.

Flex: Responsive Flex – A stiffer flex helps connect you with your board. Its stiffness allows for quicker turns, easier edge hold and impressive stability at speed.

Shape: Tapered Directional – The tail width is slightly tapered (10-15 mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves flotation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.

Rocket Science – A slightly wider design for more manoeuvrable and stable boards.

Quadratic Sidecut – A blend of elliptic curves for easy turn initiation, effortless direction changes and fluid edge to edge transitions.

Core: Aspen Select Core – Every single FSC certified wood strip is hand-selected to ensure unparalleled core quality and lightness.

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.

Laminates: C/FX Basalt

Biax MD – Medium density European-made fibreglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.

Sidewalls: ABS Sidewalls – Salomon's Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is a mouthful, so Salomon calls it ABS, the best material for sidewalls. The molecular structure can be described as a concrete bar with rubber nuggets inside, combining toughness for energy transfer and dampening properties for impact absorption.

Base: Sintered – Engineered for 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.

Fine Stone Finish – Speed up in powder or softer snow conditions.

Edges: All-Mountain Edge Bevel – A 1° edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut meets a 2° bevel between the feet. This delivers the most solid edge hold with no hang-ups.

Binding Compatibility: 2 x 4 Insert Pattern
