Shinn Luigi 2010

The emphasis in the creating of a great freeride board is all in the name – Ride. These boards are for riders that want comfort, ease of use and above all fun. Maintaining a straighter outline between your feet ensures good grip, less leg pressure and stable tracking upwind whilst increasing the curve into the tips helps to provide smooth turning and enhances control. Luigi features a very progressive rocker radius giving exceptional control even at high speed. As with all Shinn boards, Luigi features a central concave washing out to flat areas in the tips to provide both earlier planing and extra flex control.

.This mould has been developed to enhance comfort and control. The entire tail section of the board is allowed to flex in a pre-determined manner ensuring constant contact with the water and shock absorption for the rider even in the choppiest conditions. //footpads

The connection between rider and board can make or break the quality of your ride. Of course they should look slick but only after the function is perfect. The deep section EVA cushioning ensures luxurious comfort even during the harshest landings, whilst a carefully placed section of memory foam adjusts the surface to the shape of your feet after only a couple of hours riding. Multi-position fixation points allow you to fine tune your stance to perfection. The Shinn footstrap has been shaped to provide maximum grip on your foot with minimal pressure points and complete ease of adjustability. What's inside your board will make a huge difference to how it performs. There is a lot of talk about flex but the mount of flex is just the tip of the iceberg, what"s more important is where the board flex"s and how fast it responds after that flex. Each Shinn twin tip has a carefully engineered core that optimises these characteristics and enhances them for the target rider. Core materials, glass layup and mould shaping are all factors that help us in this area but the heart of every Shinn twin tip is comprised 'mostly' of an Alabasia wood core. No other core material offers the same blend of consistent flex over extended periods of time, feather light weight and near indestructible durability (not to mention environmental friendliness). Shinn say mostly because there are some other secret materials in there but they are not going to give away all of their tricks!

All Shinn twin tips are supplied with high visibility G10 fins and deck protection plates. Shaped exclusively for Shinn from G10 Epoxy (for unsurpassed durability), this 53mm shape provides exceptional grip for it's size whilst still offering great manoeuvrability.
