"What I'm really drawn to is the experimental side of things where there is no plan, where it's just a creative process with the goal to just think outside the box for a second." Nothing seems to describe Salomon's legendary DIYer more than his opening line from the new Hillside Experimental Series edit. Only makes sense to call him a legend because he not only rides for the brand, but now shapes boards for them too. His path is completely the first of it's kind, and now he's back with another innovative design that redefines what a powder turn can look—and more importantly—feel like.
This time around, it comes under the name of "Max Float," and under the shape of a 174cm step/channeled tail for even more stability. Way before those details were hashed out, Wolle filtered out countless ideas, found inspiration from the hydrodynamic planning hulls, and learned from the work of Richard Kenvin and the riding of Ryan Birch. Hard to go in the wrong direction when those are your influences, so settle into his own mini Austrian factory (where he does all his own work) and get a unique BTS perspective of shaping boards.
