<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Shinn Monk Glitch Kiteboard at S2AS!</strong></h2><p>This is the all-new Monk Glitch. <br/><br/>Over the last 8 years Shinn have fine tuned a proven kiteboard design, but for this nerw season they have redefined freeride kiteboard performance. By ensuring all of the outstanding charateristics of the previous version, the Monk such as great handling in the chop with amzing carving capabilities whilst still provoiding a comforatble ride but now producing even more grip, rip and slash into this newly developed twintip kitesurfing board! <br/><br/>The channeling on the Monk Glitch does more than simply redirect the water across the board, it creates the most efficient ride possible by encouraging the flow through the critical areas rather than forcibly redirecting across the whole board. THis has not compromised the dynamic flex profile ensuring that the comfort and control elements that kitesurfers everywhere already love about the Monk are not sacrificed.<br/><br/>How does it compare to the Monks that came before? More grip, more drive and even more pop off the water yet producing softer landings with the same distinct comfort and chop handling.<br/><br/>Outstanding through all varieties of conditions, the Monk Glitch kiteboard; fun for years to come!</p><h3><strong>Construction:</strong></h3><p>- Paulownia Full Wood Core: The best strength to weight ratio available with long lasting durability<br/>- Lightweight and Defined Flex Shape </p><h3><strong>Shape and Accessories:</strong></h3><p>- Multi Ridge and Concave Base<br/>- Fan Tail Exhasut Tips<br/>- Central Radius Outline, w/ Direct Drive Tips <br/>- BITE Hi-Performance Fins: Optoflex molded composite fins for superior profile accuracy and lighter weight<br/>- Sneaker 6 or Sneaker HMT Pads (sold seperately)</p><h3><strong>Sizing:</strong></h3><p>- 131x40cm<br/>- 133x41cm<br/>- 135x42cm<br/>- 137x44cm</p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Shinn Sneaker SRSW Pads and Straps at S2AS!</strong></h2><p>It’s always a challenge to create a strap and pad combo that can be adapted to the needs and size of every rider (imagine one shoe designed to fit every foot!) so this year Shinn have given up the fight, say hello to the Sneaker SRSW. <br/><br/>With no fiddly webbing the SRSW relies on a time proven ratchet system providing a set and forget convenience to strap adjustment with easily regulated micro adjustments possible to make even when on the fly. Based on the highly popular Sneaker SRS the SRSW has been modified to provide a better fit for kitesurfers with a foot of up to euro size 41. </p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Shinn Model Mega K Carbon Set Kite Hydrofoil at S2AS!</strong></h2><p>The Mega K is the most versatile wing in the Shinn range.<br/><br/>Originally designed with Surf and SUP in mind it’s also proved to be exceptionally well suited to kite-foiling in waves and in extreme light winds. With a surprisingly high top speed for a wing of this size and yet still un-believable low speed starting (as low as 8 kph) the Mega K leads us down the path of multi-discipline wings. This season sees a massive performance increase thanks to our new hi-modulus carbon S20.1 stabiliser. Taking on board the lessons learnt during the development of the K2 foil this new stabiliser improves on speed range and pitch stability whilst carving like you can’t believe.<br/><br/>By offering the Model Mega K with Carbon composite mast Shinn have made incredible improvements. Not happy to simply produce a "black" foil Shinn Kiteboarding needed every to work in perfect harmony, carbon foils offer so much more stiffness (at a lighter weight) than their aluminium counterparts. During foiling the rider is up to 1 metre above the foil, it’s long distance control, 1cm of flex at wing level is magnified by a factor of X to where you stand – imagine trying to push a button with a 1m long flexible stick or driving a car with flat tyres, each control input you make is magnified and delayed causing instability and even the most talented riders to wobble. If your serious about foiling and want to raise your game to the next level carbon is the only way forwards.<br/><br/>Designed to provide lift at low speeds and yet retain enough top end to keep it fun the Mega K provides stability and manoeuvrability making it perfect for SUP, SURF or Kitewave foiling in small to medium sized waves. Utilizing a low to mid aspect ratio wing with a high rake delta outline has allowed us to provide the massive speed range needed to handle both starting and control on the wave face. The main wings blended winglets work with the flat stabiliser to give great directional stability without limiting the carving potential even at crazy slow speeds. Built using proprietary hi-modulus, multi-axial carbon sandwich construction and featuring an innovative new Hollow-Tech integrated mounting plate with fast mount slide on/off fasteners. This foil uses a dedicated fuselage but is compatible with all existing Shinn wings and stabilisers.<br/><br/>So why do we recommend the Mega K for extreme light wind kiting as well? Low speed starting is the key where the challenge is to generate enough speed to start foiling. With the Mega K the power needed to water start is already enough to fly and with a top speed in excess of 35 kph you’ll be cruising when even other foilers are left sitting on the beach.<br/><br/>People often ask us at S2AS if it makes sense to have a carbon foil mast and our answer is always "unless you want to spend the money don’t test one as once you try one you will never go back!"</p><h3><strong>Features: </strong></h3><p>- Versatile and Multi-functional: Strapless, Waves, Transitions and Extreme Light Wind<br/>- Hi-Modulus Carbon Wings: Medium/low aspect wing - 1200 cm 2 with down-turned winglet Stabiliser – S20.1<br/>- Amazing Speed Range: Take off around 8kph with top speeds >40 kph<br/>- Multiple Mast Lengths: Available with 60cm, 75cm, 90cm and 110cm<br/>- Hollow-Tech Mounting plate: This integrated plate Increases rigidity and decreases weight<br/>- Multi-axial, multi layered, hi-modulus carbon construction: Increased speed, increased stiffness and increased control<br/>- Compatible and Easy: Fast and easy foil attachment to any board (165 x 90 bolt spacings) with either M6 or M8 hardware<br/>- Modular Design: Fuselage compatibility with all other Shinn wings and stabilisers<br/>- Fast and Versatile Carbon Hydrofoil : Faster, Stiffer, More Stable<br/></p>
<h2><strong>Take a look at the new Shinn Model K2 Carbon Set Kite Hydrofoil at S2AS!</strong></h2><p>After more than 2 years of development and 30 different prototypes Shinn have finally released their full carbon hydrofoils!<br/><br/>Introduced last year the K2 foil introduced new levels of stability and control in a foil that was fast, easy to use and incredibly pitch stable. For this season Shinn have raised the bar once again by offering this foil with an all new Carbon composite mast. Not happy to simply produce a "black" foil Shinn Kiteboarding needed every to work in perfect harmony, carbon foils offer so much more stiffness (at a lighter weight) than their aluminium counterparts. During foiling the rider is up to 1 metre above the foil, it’s long distance control, 1cm of flex at wing level is magnified by a factor of X to where you stand – imagine trying to push a button with a 1m long flexible stick or driving a car with flat tyres, each control input you make is magnified and delayed causing instability and even the most talented riders to wobble. If your serious about foiling and want to raise your game to the next level carbon is the only way forwards.<br/><br/>Ride further and faster without extreme front foot pressure, agility with stability and a fast track to a more advanced foiling level. With a similar rake and surface area to the model K the secret to this foil is in the combination of the 2-stage anhedral front wing and high aspect, wingletted stabiliser perfectly balancing the foil through a range of speeds. Built using proprietary hi-modulus, multi-axial carbon sandwich construction and featuring an innovative new Hollow-Tech integrated mounting plate with fast mount slide on/off fasteners. This foil uses a dedicated fuselage but is compatible with all existing Shinn wings and stabilisers.<br/><br/>People often ask us at S2AS if it makes sense to have a carbon foil mast and our answer is always "unless you want to spend the money don’t test one as once you try one you will never go back!"</p><h3><strong>Features: </strong></h3><p>- Revolutionary Freeride Foil: Designed for riders wanting to take their foiling to the next level – quickly.<br/>- Hi-Modulus Carbon Wings: Medium/high aspect wing - 866 cm 2 with winglet Stabiliser - 280cm2<br/>- ST3W Carbon Stabiliser with yaw control winglets<br/>- Versatile Speed range: Take off around 12 kph with top speeds >55 kph<br/>- Multiple Mast Lengths: Available with 60cm, 75cm, 90cm and 110cm<br/>- Hollow-Tech Mounting plate: This integrated plate Increases rigidity and decreases weight<br/>- Multi-axial, multi layered, hi-modulus carbon construction: Increased speed, increased stiffness and increased control<br/>- Compatible and Easy: Fast and easy foil attachment to any board (165 x 90 bolt spacings) with either M6 or M8 hardware<br/>- H4Modular Design: Fuselage compatibility with all other Shinn wings and stabilisers<br/><br/></p>

With a similar rake and surface area to the model K the secret to this foil is in the combination of the 2-stage anhedral front wing and high aspect, wingletted stabiliser perfectly balancing the foil through a range of speeds.</p> <p>If the P wing was responsible for re-writing the rule book on entry level foiling get ready for the K2 to do the same for the next generation of high-energy freeriders. </p> <h2><strong>Features:</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Hi-modulus carbon: </strong>Medium high aspect wing - 866 cm2</li> <li><strong>Hi-modulus carbon: </strong>Winglet stabiliser - 290 cm2</li> <li><strong>Versatile speed range: </strong>Take off around 12 kph with top speeds > 55 kph</li> <li><strong>Multiple mast lengths</strong>: Available with 40, 60, 75 or 90 cm mast (recommended mast is 90cm)</li> <li><strong>Strike resistant design</strong>:Top mounting for the delicate composite wings protects them from accidental bottom strikes</li> <li><strong>Quik-fit plate</strong>: Fast and easy foil attachment to any board (165 x 90 bolt spacings)</li> <li><strong>Deep socket M6/M8 compatible plate</strong>: Deep socket for extra stiffness you can use this foil with m8 or m6 mounting hardware</li> <li><strong>Modular design</strong>: Fuselage compatibility with all other shinn wings and stabilisers</li> </ul>

<h2><strong>2019 Shinn ADHD Clinic Kiteboard Available Now At S2AS</strong></h2> <p>The ADHD is our highest performance deck chosen by both competition freestylers and wake style purist a like. Stiff enough to perform yet comfortable enough to enjoy, we employed all the technology available to ensure the ADHD won’t hold your riding back (so get your other excuses ready). After an in depth analysis and identifying the key features needed in a freestyle machine we’ve engineered this board to perform. The split concave increases edge grip for a more explosive POP and at the same time dissipates the impact saving the knees during those sketchy kite low landings not to mention reducing base wear if obstacles are your thing. The Double Stepped Tips re-direct water as it exits the boards cutting drag and increasing directional stability without the need to resort to over sized fins (guaranteed to catch when you least want them too) and enhancing performance in less than full power conditions. The ADHD Clinic is a true favourite of the pro-riders on the team and with a proven competition heritage let us take your level as high as you dare no matter if your preferences are boots, straps, flat water, natural kickers or obstacles.</p> <p><img alt=" " src="https://shinnworld.com/image/2019/04/tablet/flex-rating-8.png" /></p> <h3><strong>TECH FEATURES</strong></h3> <p><strong>Split Concave</strong><br /> 90 degree entry for improved edge grip at speed and buttery smooth landings.</p> <p><strong>Double Stepped Tips</strong><br /> Improve carving POP whilst maintaining upwind drive</p> <p><strong>Constant Curve Rocker</strong><br /> Creating confidence inspiring control and balanced landings in all conditions</p> <p><strong>BITE 43 mm fins</strong><br /> Optoflex moulded composite fins for superior profile accuracy and lighter weight</p> <p><strong>Paulownia Full wood core</strong><br /> The best strength to weight ratio available with long lasting durability</p> <p><strong>2 year warranty</strong><br /> Peace of mind with our 2 year manufacturing defect warranty (conditions apply)</p> <p><strong>Sizes</strong><br /> 138 x 41.5<br /> 142 x 43</p> <p><strong>Ride it your way</strong><br /> Supplied with Sneaker SRS, Sneaker 6 or fins only to let you ride your ADHD your way</p>

<h2><strong>Take a look at the new 2018 Shinn Model K Foil Mast at S2AS!</strong></h2> <p>Sometimes you just don’t know what you need until you try it, and its the same here at S2AS.
