 Over the past few years Salomon's Gypsy has dominated women's freestyle snowboarding. Its combination of state-of-the-art design, manufacture and class-sealing performance created a freestyle board that not only ruled in the park but also one that rules over the whole mountain. It's this unique versatile performance that made it one of the best-selling boards there is. Well, not once to rest on their laurels, Salomon have totally redesigned the Gypsy for 1718, stepping up performance and control to a whole new level and in one fell swoop redefining the freestyle snowboard market. Now heading up the new Gypsy is the state-of-the-art blood profile twin tip shape. This all-new profile reduces weight at the tip and tail, stepping up both control and feel. To this, Salomon then add their versatile rock-out camber. This combines rocker at the contact points, camber under the feet and flat through the middle to deliver great performance wherever and whatever you ride. Now new for 1718, Salomon have also added their unique quadrilizer side cut profile. This complex combination of quadratic side cut and equalizer straight lines steps up manoeuvrability and show that the new Gypsy delivers all of the control that you could ever need. Internally, the Gypsy utilizes the high quality Aspen Select Pops the Booster Core. This carbon reinforced wood core is profiled to give the optimum flex through the length, increasing control and feel whilst also powering up both the nose and tail. Now to ensure that the Gypsy retains that playful freestyle feel, the glass structural layers are formed from a more playful bias glass. But by adding carbon slingshot layers under the feet you get that playful freestyle flex without sacrificing any of the board's pop, power and stability. Finally, to give a fast ride in all conditions, the Gypsy utilizes a tough scented base.
