Product Information

The hps taka ep is a soft and nimble freeride board with an extra-long nose and a tapered tail for superior float on the deepest days. while this board is intended to be ridden 3-5 cm longer, it remains extremely agile and maneuverable in everyday conditions thanks to a tapered directional shape and powder camber paired with a radial sidecut. float. powder camber and a tapered tail pair with an extra-long nose design, meant to be ridden 3-5cm longer than your standard board, provide superb buoyancy in deep snow. agility. a tapered tail and softer flex allow for precise maneuverability and tight turns in the trees and on groomers. control. powder camber is loaded under the back foot allowing for stability, control, and edge hold, with an elongated nose up front for easy turn initiation. 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. powder camber. a directional camber profile with a long, extended rocker section in the nose for buoyancy in deep snow, with camber between the feet for carving, stability, and control. radial. created from a perfect circle, radial is the classic sidecut for consistent response forward and switch. ba md fiberglass. medium density european-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards. 30% bio-based resin. this bio-epoxy resin is made with 30% of its molecular structure derived from plants. damplifier lite. a combination of lightweight cork and honeycomb are strategically placed in the tip for better float, lower swing weight, 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. 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. 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. 50% recycled sintered base. 50% recycled base materials! reducing waste without sacrificing glide! fine stone finish. our fine stone finish is particularly efficient on our sintered eg base, speed up in powder or softer snow conditions. natural wax. a paraffin-free wax compound made from natural ingredients. a non-pollutant compound held to the highest standards of glide speed. all-mountain eb. all-mountain ready, right out of the wrapper. equipped with a 1-degree bevel in the nose and tail and a 2-degree bevel between the feet for superior edge hold and no hang ups. recycled abs. recycled abs is used to reduce the impact of petroleum based materials. weight: 2.8. weight: kg unit of measure. shape: tapered directional. width: mid-wide. product id number: l47662600076
