Shinn Absinthe Prismatic Kiteboard 2023/24

Shinn Absinthe Prismatic Kiteboard 2023/24

HIGH PERFORMANCE FREERIDE

Engineered from the core outwards every element from the light Paulownia wood blank to the high modulus spread-tow carbon laminate has been selected for optimum weight and performance relevant to real world conditions. This is more than a cosmetic update, this is a fundamentally new approach to the same goal of maximising performance and comfort whilst minimizing weight.

Building on the shaping lessons learned through the development of the Shinn Slicer Split Twin Tip board, Shinn combined the Double Step tip channels with the all new Dual-Track base to create an unrestricted water flow throughout the board’s length. Supremely fast to “unstick” in light winds and knife like upwind ability don’t detract from what is undoubtedly the plushest and most engaging ride in the whole Prismatic range.

With the ability to adapt to your riding, mood, or simply the conditions on hand the Absinthe redefines Shinns high standards for lightweight performance, comfort, and control.

Who is the board designed for?
For anyone with aggressive tendencies it’s so much fun. For the nervous rider it’s an ideal board. In truth this board is for everyone, although the Absinthe can be aggressive, it will never feel difficult or uncomfortable.
