Shinn boards?

Postby doublerumandcoke » Fri Jul 02, 2010 4:43 am

Slightly puzzled.
Shinn swings Nobile boards from obscurity into pole position in the global board market in about 3 seasons.
2010 sees Shinn boards launched first season. I was expecting to read alot more about these boards but i see very little written in a +ve or -ve light.

If anybody has a real review of the Player or Luigi can they please stand forward.
I loved the 555 and 666 boards so surely the Shinns must be something along those lines.

Somebody speak up!!!

Player and Waterbird very popular here. I like Player for the speed and quality, and Waterbird for fun.

How about spray?
Flat rockers are plagued with spray off the toe edge, especially with a bit of chop on the water.
In comparison to his boards for Nobile how are they on that front?
I assume flat and early planning, hows the rider comfort, smooth or a little chattery?
Foot pads, look nice ......are the good? grip,comfort, easy to adjust?

Is their a review anywhere as i'm struggling to get some real information.

There must be more boards out there, unless the owners are too busy shaggin blow up dolls.

The player sprays in the face big time..they should call it the sprayer.
Luigi is a sweet board
Waterbird is great fun
Pads and straps are dated compared to other brands
Overall good, but room for improvement.
