Salomon Salomonder 2011

What comes to mind when you think of a salamander? Slithery street shredding? No? How about when you think of a Salomonder? I mean, come on now, how could you not think of amphibian urban carnage when looking at this thing, it is built to slide, bonk, press and tap whatever you throw it at. Jed Anderson and Chris Grenier need no introduction, these two cats are at the forefront of technical street snowboarding and their board is a reflection of their particular brand of thrashin'. Super soft flex, no camber or rocker just perfectly flat, blunt tip and tail and Salomon's badass Equalizer sidecut make this the most lethal street ninja weapon out there. Salomonders are also inexpensive and pretty much indestructible, so feel free to barge the largest shit your brassy balls can handle. We asked Salomon team manager and uber BOSS Java Fernandez about the Salomonder and this is what he had to say:

 

Jed and Chris worked for a total of about 3 minutes on this piece of shit.

 

HA! Just kidding.

 

Chris and Jed wanted to design a board for a while and it made perfect sense to let them run wild and do exactly what they wanted to. The graphic, shape, everything is all theirs. There’s no doubt they are 2 of the best in the business at what they do and the Salomonder is a reflection of that. The graphic actually comes with a money-back guarantee that everyone will get laid. It’s tight.

 

So there you have it, not only are you going to own the spot with the hottest stick of the year, you will get your whistle wet too, guaranteed!
