An overview of the awesome 2011 Shinn kiteboards range That are now on sale at surface to air.
Check them out, this year SHINN have been working really hard on making their boards stand out and become the best board at the best price and here at S2AS we love them.
The Monk
top end Freeride / Freestyle crossover
This is the board that started the current hype about Shinn in the industry. Suitable for all aggressive riders; those who like to charge around with their hair on fire. It's a board that is very easy to ride fast and hard in the worst conditions imaginable. If you are aggressive with your riding you will find nothing that giv
es as much performance, ease and comfort in the worst chop, soup and surf you can find, with NO spray in the face, NO back leg burn and NO knee pounding. it's so easy and comfortable to ride but encourages the rider to kite faster, carve harder, and you can ride like this for hours longer than a normal board... Suitable for both freestyle and freeride styles.
The new Luigi
top end Freeride
Using the same rocker and hull shape as the Monk it shares very similar characteris
tics. NO face spray at all, superbly comfortable in the worst conditions, and much more suited to mainstream freeride riders. Planing earlier it has a wider power range, it's better upwind, and it feels as happy at slow speeds as it feels at high speeds. The new Luigi is the better board for the mainstream rider; it's the same technology refined for people who do not kite at the ragged edge all the time. It's the board that you can ride all the time beginner or expert.
The Gintronic
Mainstream Freeride
The Gintro
nic is actually the same hull, rocker and deckmould as the Monk, but it's internal flex pattern and outline shape has been tuned to make it the easiest board of the three to ride. Like the others it's superbly comfortable in the roughest water and has the greatest power range, powering extremely early and powering upwind. It's a board that will forgive the most obvious riding mistakes and offers the most performance for the least amount of technique. Priced to compete with the mainstream twins it brings this technology to price level eye to eye with the rest of the industry.
The new Player
newschool freestyle
This is a standalone shape that shares no commonality with the above. It is intended to be a freestyle board for those who's style of riding is unhooked. Lets not beat about the bush; last years board was as hardcore a twin as I have ever seen, and whilst this years is a lot more forgiving and comfortable when hooked in it's still a dedicated freestyle riders board.
