Shinn Monkette anyone ?

Postby coolhari2000 » Fri May 27, 2016 3:16 am

Hi,

I am looking for some review (rider feedback) on the Shinn Monkette ?

Is it basically the Monk - just more flex - i.e. made for lighter riders ?

Any info would be much appreciated
Thanks

I've tried the largest monkette, I think it was 139x39 and it is a smaller version of the monk. I don't believe there are any different flex patterns or layups for this board vs the monk at least I couldn't feel a difference other than size compared with my monk.

Thanks flybykite

Am happy to hear that it's basically the same as the monk :)

Although i was hoping to hear it was a little softer & easier to flex

I wonder why it's so hard to get any reviews/comparisons on women's equipment ?
