Salomon Abstract Snowboard

No, this board is best suited for intermediate to advanced riders. Its medium flex and technical sidecut require a certain level of board control to fully appreciate its performance, making it less forgiving than a dedicated beginner deck.

The Rock Out Camber profile is designed for versatility. It provides stability and edge hold underfoot for carving, while the rockered tip and tail make it easier to initiate turns and press on rails without catching an edge.

While it is built with freestyle creativity in mind, the Abstract is very capable across the entire mountain. Its true twin shape and responsive core make it a great choice for side hits, groomers, and general all-mountain riding, not just park laps.

The Quadrilizer sidecut is engineered to improve edge control and carving precision. By combining different radii, it helps you maintain grip at higher speeds and provides a more reliable, locked-in feel when you are laying down turns.

Yes, like all sintered bases, this one is porous and designed to absorb wax. To keep it fast and durable, you should wax it regularly, especially if you are riding in dry or abrasive snow conditions.

Thanks to the Ghost Carbon Beams and Popster core milling, the board has a lively, energetic snap. It is designed to give you a poppy, responsive feel that helps with boosting off jumps and getting onto features with confidence.
