The 2024 Salomon Super 8 Pro was designed to be able to handle anything in its path, from the early days of winter to end of season spring. This freeride focused powerhouse not only utilises the Backseat Camber profile so you can quickly control and power through your turns, but with the addition of cork and honeycomb in the tip and the fastest base Salomon make, you get a board that also floats and absorbs impacts like none other while being the fastest on the mountain.
