great board

I have one, now it's only an early season board, but I rode it as my main board for two season.
Now I prefer to ride boards with more open sidecut (8 mt and more, the 151 I have it's like 7.5mt), but it's a great board, easy to ride and not demanding.

Yup. Progressively went from 160 -> 166. At this point I don’t see me using it that much but its the only board I have that has any sort of tail and sometimes that’s needed.

My (2019) 151 sickstick is fun combination of a lively and playful freeride-freestyles stick. My go to for most resort riding, side hits, bopping on and off groomers and a little park action board that bc of the ww also does well in glades and a bit of pow.

Aahaha , you should tattoo these words on your body.
I have the second 160 super 8( 2020, I had the 2017 before that) and I really love it, easy board but when you need to go fast or to carve hard it's there, I can even jib with it( not as funny as other boards but doable) and I have a lot of fun and good feelings in powder to( I think is very underrated as a powder board).
I like salomon boards in general, I had a bunch of boards in the years, now I have a derby 151 , a sick stick 51( the last version, I think is 2020) and I had man's, grip, couple 160 sick stick( didn't really like the older versions, a good board, but didn't really impressed me) and older ones wich don't even remember the names and I don't have anymore.......but the super 8 is still my first choice board.

haven't tried the Super 8 yet, but I have the Speedway (155) and Speedway Split (160) and the HPS Annie Boulanger (148)

love them all. the new Highpath which looks like the Speedway replacement seems interesting, the big difference is that it's cam-rock instead of directional camber?

really liking the look of the Salomon HPS Wolle Nyvelt Fish

also, it looks like the House is selling last years Speedway and HPS Taka split boards for 50% off at $400 (these include Pomoca skins)

I’m selling a 170 speedway solid because it’s a bit narrow for me, but it’s close to perfect. If it was 1cm wider I’d probably have ridden it 90% of the time.

That wolle fish looks killer.

If anyone from Salomon sees this I’ll get this on my ass for two free 166 super 8s and a dancehaul grom for my kids

I spent a lot of days on a Dancehaul 157 last season. Super fun deck for sure. Great for bank slashing, side hits, and hit n’ run pow stashes. It’s holding up really well too.

The Wolle HPS things look so tempting. I keep going to the shop to caress them.

I snagged a 21/22 Villain for a fuckaround/park deck at the beginning of this season... inserts looked off when I got it, so I measured and it was an entire inch off center toward the nose. So weird.
