Can you see it? The way the nose of the Sims Nub Snowboard splits the difference between blunt and pointy, between pow and park, between smooth and smoother? This long-nosed twin just begs to be launched, buttered, and ridden with eyes closed (and soul open). There's just something about it, it's impossible to overlook. The Nub levitates in deep snow, that perfect nose leading the way towards natural hits and creative lines. The inserts are centered in the camber, though, so you're never at a loss for power or switch riding. There's a reason the Sims team is so hyped on this thing: Nub!
Traditional Camber – A single convex arc between the board’s contact points ensures predictable edge hold, load, and rebound as pressure is exerted and expelled throughout the rider’s turn.
Long Nose Twin
Regular Tip – This is a traditional construction that features full wood core content from tip-to-tail for smooth-flexing stability and durability.
Twin Wave Form Core Profile – In accordance with the position of the hole pattern and the camber, the thickness of the core surface is partially adjusted to create a unique flex, enhancing shock absorption and control.
MOD 4 – A unique blend of poplar, bamboo, and Paulownia wood in a balanced array, make this core lighter and provide increased repulsion, increased strength, and a lively feel.
Tri-Tex – Sims' most advanced matrix; a 3-way lay up that combines light fiberglass at 0º, 45º, and 90º degrees, ensuring unquestionable pop, rebound, flex, and torsion in their highest performance boards.
I-Carbon – A 50 mm carbon stringer provides lightweight rigidity to improve pop and power in all environments.
Premium Racing – Utilizing industry-leading technology from ISOSPORT, this high-density, high-speed base material is chosen for its molecular weight, which delivers unrivaled speed, excellent wear resistance, and increased wax permeability.
