Raise it up. The Salomon Special Snowboard 2008 lets you ride it the way you want to, and always has you covered. The unique 3D core profiling, signature of the ERA concept, allows you to be playful at lower speeds thanks to a softer torsion, and the snappy flex holds it down when you open it up. The drive precision of the thinwalls and the speed of the 4000 EG base will give you the control and speed you need for whatever you go for, be it the Legendary Banked Slalom course or the big line in the local park. The all-mountain Salomon Special Snowboard is proof that a performance board can raise your confidence every time you ride.

ERA Board Technology — The only board that is two of a kind. Maneuverable at lower speeds, the soft torsion allows the ERA board to let you take over. Rock solid at higher speeds, the fine-tuned flex makes the ERA come into play to assist you. Lightweight and poppy, all ERA boards will allow you to reveal your potential.
Directional Twin Shape — A twin shape for freestyle abilities, paired with a directional flex for effortless drive at high-speeds, topped by real set-back options for the powder runs: No doubt, it’s the best mix for boards that perform all-around.
-
Select Core Pro — Every single wood strip is hand selected, and human-eye gauged to ensure a constant core quality and lightness. These little details make the difference between a random mass production stick and a high-end perfected snowboard.
P-Tex 4000 Electra Gallium — Sintered with impact resistance Gallium to strengthen yet enhance Salomon’s unique base structuration process to deliver the best base quality and fastest glide on the market.
-
Medium Stone Finish — The medium stone finish lasts longer and improves the sintered base glide in every snow condition, from morning corduroy to springy park slush.
T-ABS — Specific to Salomon’s ERA 3D board construction, the Thin wall effect gives accurate snow feel and increased trajectory control for the riding masters who need the precision without the struggle.
-
ITC (Integrated Torsion Control) Fibers — Custom woven, just for Salomon, by the world’s leading providers, these ITC fiber layers maximize the strength and response of our high-end ERA boards, thus saving weight. The fibers crossing at an angle, optimized for snowboard dimensions, drives your energy from your feet to the right contact points, with no overlaying necessary.
Quadratic Sidecut — A sidecut made out from elliptic curves to perfectly adjust the radius of every running edge section while keeping a natural driving feeling and no leaps: Intuitive turn initiations, effortless direction changes and fluid edge to edge transitions are the signature.
-
TNT (Thinner Nose & Tail) Tip Shape — Reducing core thickness in the tips removes weight and inertia; it makes your rotations much easier and thus keeps your board easy in powder…an explosive recipe for freestyle, from morning-shaped pipe to natural powder hips and lips.
Full Edge Bevel + — Edge de-tuning angle is increased in the high pressure zones, while it’s kept just right for a solid edge hold.
