HPS - Louif Paradis Snowboard - 2025

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This board feels like it was made for creative lines. It floats with ease in pow, but the Rock Out Camber keeps it stable and poppy when I want to press, carve, or hit natural features. It’s smooth, lightweight, and super responsive—exactly what I want for mixing freeride and freestyle."

Who It’s For

Freeride and All-Mountain Riders Seeking Versatility:

The HPS Louif Paradis is for riders who want a directional board that can seamlessly move between powder lines and freestyle-inspired terrain. It’s built for advanced snowboarders who value stability, precision, and responsiveness but still want a board that feels playful underfoot.

What It’s For

Powder Lines and Creative All-Mountain Riding:

With a tapered directional shape, this board is tuned for float in deep snow, while the Rock Out Camber profile keeps edge hold and control dialed in on groomers and natural features. The Quadralizer sidecut makes carving tight or fast lines effortless, and the Ghost Green Core keeps the ride light and agile.

Why We Like It

Float, Pop, and Smooth Edge Control Together:

We like the HPS Louif Paradis for how it connects freeride stability with freestyle creativity. The Popster core adds snap and pop, while bamboo and cork rails absorb chatter and keep the board feeling damp at speed. The Sintered EG base ensures speed and wax retention in all conditions, making this board a confident partner for exploring every face of the mountain.
