Shinn the Street
Board only Bindungen müssen zusätzlich Bestellt werden.
Fixe Bindungen möglich!
The Shinn Street Kiteboard combines the hooligan tendencies from the Monk with the raw grip and POP of the Supershinn.
The Shinn Street redefines the very nature of cross over, bringing all things to all riders, combining Shinn_ez_s CC rocker and Squoval mould with a fresh dynamic flex pattern and more progressive outline. This might be the only board you’ll ever need!
The Shinn Street is a totally new rockerline, a radically different curve to anything that Shinn and anyone has used before.
The tips are incredibly flexible, with a constant thickness taper to the core (a brand new style of deck mould for Shinn) and the outline is half way between freeride and freestyle.
The Shinn Street comes naked. No pads, no straps, no fins. Just the board, the naked Shinn! Shinn brings you the supreme quality and finish you expect without the price tag you dread. A complete board version is also available.
There are a number of things that make the Shinn Street ride so well:
Spray:
No spray, ever, no matter how choppy, no matter what your stance is, what your carving position, where you place your pads, it’s gone, completely. The Street has cured it using only limited rocker curve, so it’s still efficient with a wide windrange.
Chop:
The flex, grip and ease of the Street makes it a total joy in chop. Whether you are riding in 6 metre kite conditions, the Street makes it easy, relaxed and fun.
Confidence:
It’s a board that you can push to the ragged edge of control, without ever feeling nervous or hesitant. The first thing to come unstuck is never your stance or balance!
Even-Foot Pressure:
Every twin suffers from back foot loading, but some twins have to be ridden with excessive back foot pressure, either to stop the nose from burying when things get out of shape, or to stop you getting spray in your face.
The Street is a joy, it feels so solid underfoot that you can shift you weight around a great deal – even 50-50 when you are tired. Ride it hour after hour and your sessions will be so much fun!
Carving:
Toeside carving on a twin is always going to be tenuous. Heelside carving is better than many directional boards.
Not only does it grip through the turn, without ever feeling like it’s going to pop out (the more you push the deeper into the water it sinks),
but it stores so much speed – when you come out of the most aggressive of carves you are still really travelling. It’s incredible round corners.
Straight-Line Stability:
The rocker is naturally very stable with any outline, but the Street outline proved to be even more stable and efficient. It encourages you to push faster and harder until you can push no more.
So effortless to ride, so trusting that in a straight line it never comes unstuck, which makes it perfect for experts and intermediates alike.
Pop:
The ability of the board to heel-side carve without losing speed makes it excellent for wake style pop, as well as having plenty of traditional pop.
Hardcore freestyle is easily within it’s grasp but for everyone who does not spend half their session unhooked the Street is a far superior board for multidiscipline freestyle.
Choosing your board size:
Whilst many riders still look at the length of the board when choosing their size it_ez_s much more relevant to look at the width.
The length of the board can be affected by the shaping of the tip and tail - which in reality plays no part in the performance of the board.
To clarify the situation further the difference in surface are between a 130x40 and a 130x42 is approximately 260cm2
whilst increasing the length of a 130x40 to 135x40 would give an increase in surface area of less than 200cm2 - nearly 25% less!
Footbed and Straps:
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.
Shinn Kiteboarding_ez_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 us from G10 Epoxy (for unsurpassed durability),
this 53mm shape provides exceptional grip for it_ez_s size whilst still offering great manoeuvrability.
Core Construction:
What_ez_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_az_s more important is where the board flex_az_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 _ez_mostly_ez_ 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).
FS Mould Shaping:
This FS mould is designed to provide you with the ultimate in comfort and control. It_ez_s unique ovalized, central platform creates extreme amounts
of tail flex through both axis yet maintains rigidity underfoot to ensure planning performance and upwind ability are un-hindered.
Constant Curve Rocker and Outline:
Some years ago this rocker would have been considered to be slow to plane and poor upwind but advances in flex control, concave hull shapes
and of course kites now mean it can be used to provide un-paralleled control, limitless grip and completely spray free riding in all conditions.
The outline of your board works in conjunction with the rocker to define the way it will perform.
In freestyle - this outline style features more curve radius between the feet leading into straighter, larger diameter curves in the tip and tail.
On the water this translates into strong edge grip, aggressive POP and fast turning when applying pressure equally through both feet.
Who is the board designed for:
For anyone with aggressive tendencies it’s so much fun. For the nervous it’s ideal, in truth this board is for everyone. Although the Street can be aggressive, it is NEVER difficult or uncomfortable.
