THE
HPS - TAKAHARU NAKAI E.P.
Superior float on the deepest days
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.
