// footbed and straps
The connection between rider and board can make or break the quality of the ride. Of course they should look slick but only after the function is perfect.
Shinn Kiteboarding's 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.
// fins
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.
// construction
What's inside your board will make a huge difference to how it performs. There is a lot of talk about flex but the amount 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 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).
// mould shaping
Freestyle Mould Shinn FS7 is designed to provide the ultimate blend of pop and control. The area around the fins is able to flex ensuring comfort and grip when riding however the centre section of the tail has been stiffened to reduce loss of power when releasing from the water.
// rocker and outline
Conventional freestyle boards rely on straight outlines through the tail section of the board to achieve good edge grip but sacrifice carving ability along the way - something that's essential to achieving good pop if you ride with your kite low.
By extending the central rocker flat and increasing the radius through the tail Shinn Kiteboarding have created a platform that still exhibits supreme levels of grip on the rail but also allows them to expand the surface area in the tip and tail making hard carving and hence aggressive pop possible. As with all Shinn boards, The Player features a central concave washing out to flat areas in the tips to provide both earlier planning and extra flex control.
