Sims UAP Snowboard 2023
Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. The Sims UAP Snowboard is today's version of the Shaun Palmer UFO model of old, a classic from a polarizing rider who pushed as many boundaries as he did buttons. It's a long-nosed twin made for freestyling, hot dogging, and all around snow-based hooliganism. Stiff and traditionally-cambered, it's all about that pop, and the throwback shape will have you hunting for silver tuxedos and hair dye.
Product Details
Rocker Type
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.
Shape
Long Nose Twin
Flexible Thin Tip – This weight-saving technology reduces material in the board’s tip and tail, resulting in lighter swing weight which makes it easier and faster to spin and rotate tricks.
Core
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.
Laminates
Dual X Carbon – Two "X" shaped carbon layers underfoot extending to the tip and tail provide pop, stability and efficient power transmission for edging.
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.
Double Bamboo Stringers
Base
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.
Binding Compatibility
2 x 4 Insert Pattern

All-Mountain, Freeride

Terrain
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. Freeride Freeride snowboards are designed for the rider that spends most of the day off groomed runs and in backcountry terrain. They typically have a stiffer flex and are ridden in longer sizes than freestyle snowboards. Freeride snowboards often feature a directional shape that is designed to perform optimally in one direction.

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:
Camber

Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for snowboards, and still popular among high-level park and pipe riders because it offers maximum energy and pop. A cambered board has a smooth arch underfoot and touches near the tip and tail when unweighted; when the rider’s weight is added, it provides a long, evenly pressured running surface and edge.

Flex Rating:
Stiff
More
Flex Rating
Stiff 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.
