The 2026 Salomon Kickback is a versatile and approachable freestyle board designed to help you refine your skills in the park. Featuring a softer flex and Rock Out Camber profile, it delivers a smooth, playful ride ideal for locking into presses and rails. Despite its forgiving nature, the board maintains plenty of pop, giving you the confidence to send it off jumps while keeping control and stability on landings.
Board Type: Freestyle
Freestyle snowboards are built for park riders and those who love performing tricks on jumps, rails, and side hits.
Flex: 2/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff)
Snowboards with a soft flex are forgiving, easy to control, and ideal for beginners or freestyle riders. They excel in playful manoeuvres, like park tricks and buttering, and provide a smooth ride on groomed trails or in powder.
Ability Level: Beginner-Intermediate
A beginner snowboard is softer, lighter, and more stable, making it easier to control and manoeuvre while learning basic skills like turning and stopping.
Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.
Shape: Twin
A twin-shaped snowboard is symmetrical with an identical tip and tail, designed for equal performance riding forward or switch. It’s perfect for freestyle tricks, spins, and jumps, offering balance, stability, and control in both directions.
Camber Type: Rock Out Camber

Flat between the bindings provides stability, camber near the feet adds response, and rocker at the tip and tail enhances pressability.
Sidecut: Equalizer Rad Sidecut

Equaliser and Radial radii are combined for a sidecut that provides agility on the mountain. It consists of a combination of straight lines and short radius.
Width: Standard, Wide
Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.
Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot.
Inserts: 2x4 Inserts
These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.
Board Construction
Laminate: BA MD Fiberglass, Popster
BA MD medium density fiberglass is used to create a light and lively board. Popster mills the core inside of the inserts, allowing the board to flex more naturally and energy is transferred to the nose and tail more efficiently for extra pop.
Core: Aspen Strong Core
CNC-cut high-density Aspen wood strips in the insert and rail zones improve impact resistance and ensure consistent flex the entire life of the core.
Sidewall: Royal Rubber Pads
Soft Royal Rubber blocks are strategically placed in high-pressure areas of the ABS sidewalls to effectively absorb vibrations and dampen hard impacts, ensuring a smoother, more controlled ride.
Edge: Freestyle Edge Bevel
For superior edge hold and forgiveness while on rails and boxes, a 1.5 degree base edge bevel is added.
Base: Extruded EG Base
By taking the easy to maintain extruded base material and adding Electra, you get a deluxe version of a normal extruded base that has increased gliding and speed characteristics.
