HPS Louif Paradis 2023

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. Camber Profile Rock Out Camber - Flat between your bindings for stability, camber near the feet for response, and rocker on the tip/tail for pressability. Flex Medium Stiff - A stiffer flex helps connect you with your board. It's stiffness allows for quicker turns, easier edge hold and impressive stability at speed. Shape Tapered Directional - What makes this board ride so well in powder and hardpack is the tapered twin shape. Stance is centered within the effective edge while the tail is pulled in slightly to help with flotation. Quadralizer - New and explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic sidecuts allows high speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots. Core Ghost Green Core - The Ghost Green core components have been selected to optimize pop and reduce weight with 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. Laminates Biax MD - Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards. Sidewalls Bamboo & Cork Rails - The liveliness from bamboo meets the dampness from cork for the best of both worlds. 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. Fine Stone Finish - Speed up in powder or softer snow conditions. Edges 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. All-Mountain Edge Bevel - A 1Adeg edge holding tune throughout the key parts of the sidecut meets a 2Adeg bevel between the feet. This delivers the most solid edge hold with no hang-ups.
