The stick is sick. Years after its inception, Wolle Nyvelt's go-to powder ripper remains one of the best loved freeride boards around. The Salomon Sickstick Snowboard is built around a trio of super light materials: bamboo, cork, and paulownia, to provide a powerful and exceptionally nimble ride with tons of float in the powder. The directional shape is just a bit setback and tapered, meaning it performs well riding switch in pow or taking a more freestyle approach to big mountain ripping. If you're a sick shredder looking for one stick to do it all, the choice is easy.
Rocker Type
Rock Out Camber – Flat between your bindings for stability, camber near the feet for response, and rocker on the tip/tail for pressability.
Flex
4 (1 Soft - 5 Stiff)
Shape
Tapered Directional – Tail width is slightly tapered (2-20mm). This loosens up turning initiation and improves flotation in deeper snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack.
Quadralizer Sidecut – Explosive combination of Equalizer and Quadratic sidecuts allows high speed carving as well as superior edge control in tight spots.
Core
Ghost Green Core – Ghost Green Core components have been selected and designed to optimize pop and reduce weight while utilizing sustainable attributes of a super light paulownia wood.
Laminates
Biaxial Medium Density Fiberglass – Medium density European-made fiberglass layers guarantee a consistent quality level, for light and lively boards.
Sidewalls
Bamboo / Cork Rails – The liveliness of eco-friendly bamboo, mixed with cork composite for the best direct feel and dampening ride in the industry.
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.
