Sims Distortion Snowboard 2025
A mid-flexing twin with tons of snap, crackle and pop, the Sims Distortion Snowboard lets you crank it past "11" and alter the tone of your snowboarding world. Transform Camber - a cambered profile with a flat section between the bindings - delivers both edgehold and the easy surfy feel you love, and a Double I Carbon infusion gives this board tons of energy when you load it up and drop the hammer.
Product Details

Transform Camber – Transform Camber combines the best of both flat and traditional contours, offering the secure edge hold of conventional camber and the loose flexibility of flat camber for a lively, intuitive ride that feels free yet controlled.
Flex

Shape
Dual Twin Tip
Core
Mod 2 Core – This core combines Poplar and Paulownia woods for a combination that's both powerful and lightweight.
Laminates
Double I Carbon – Two tip-to-tail carbon stringers through the center of the core increase rigidity for improved response and control.

Terrain:
Freestyle, All-Mountain

Terrain
Freestyle Freestyle or park snowboards tend to be a bit shorter in length and love terrain parks, rails, jibs, trash cans, tree trunks, riding switch (non-dominant foot forward), wall rides and more. Freestyle boards often feature a true twin shape, and are typically selected by those looking to ride the terrain park. A more versatile variant of a freestyle board is the all-mountain freestyle, which combines the versatility of an all mountain snowboard with the playfulness of a freestyle snowboard. All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker

Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker shapes seek to give you both hard-carving edgehold on firm snow from camber underfoot with enhanced turnability and float in powder from the rockered tip and tail. This profile is increasingly popular for freeride boards designed primarily for soft snow.

Flex Rating:
Medium

Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
