Salomon Sick Stick - 2011
The Sick Stick is completely unique, it’s almost centered stance and relatively short running length are two characteristics which give you the impression that you should be packing a snorkel in your backpack for big powder days. Somehow the pointed tips, slight taper, powder rocker provide enough float for the deepest of days. To keep the ride lively Salomon have kept the flex medium stiff, introduced bamboo into the laminates, milled the core in the Popster profile and dropped the PTex sidewalls for stylish bamboo numbers. One hell of a looker, and if powder hound Josh Dirksen is riding it, you know it rips!
Manufacturer's Description:
The Best Pow Board in The World
Effortless flotation and freestyle versatility. If you’re still not sure, go back to the tagline. It’s a direct quote from an editor at one of your favorite snow mags. We’d love to tell you who, but we’re sworn to secrecy. You know, impartiality and all that.
