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.

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.

Features & Fabrics

abc wrapper
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%.
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.
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.
