Description:
Strap in and turn it to 11. The Distortion is a Dual Twin Tip designed by the team for all-mountain mayhem. Sims Transform Camber, a flat camber that rolls into a traditional camber right before the contact points, is loose and easy to pivot off the center, with a solid edge hold through the tip and tail. Park, pipe, powder, the Distortion eats it up.
The Distortion is built on Sims MOD 2 Core, a poplar and Paulownia wood core with two tip-to-tail bamboo stringers running under the inserts. Two carbon stringers, our Double I-Carbon Wide layup, run parallel outside the bamboo stringers. We cap the Distortion with our Tri-Tex fiberglass laminate, our most advanced 3D matrix. Together these elements produce loads of pop and smooth rebound out of turns for all-conditions ripping.
Sims Flexible Thin Tip tech reduces material for less swing weight on aerial rotations. We finish the Distortion with a Premium Racing base.
Features:
Rocker Type
- Transform Camber – Transform Camber combines the best of both flat and traditional contours, offering the secure edge hold of conventional camber and the loose flexibility of flat camber for a lively, intuitive ride that feels free yet controlled.
Flex
- Flex Rating – 5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Shape
- Dual Twin Tip
- 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
- Masters Core – The addition of 2 tip-to-tail bamboo stringers running lengthwise through the center of a Light Poplar wood core adds dampening and pop for smooth control in all conditions.
Laminates
- Tri-Tex – Sims' most advanced matrix; a 3-way layup that combines light fiberglass at 0, 45, and 90 degrees, ensuring unquestionable pop, rebound, flex, and torsion in their highest performance boards.
- Double I-Carbon – Two tip-to-tail carbon stringers through the center of the core increase torsional rigidity for increased response and control.
Base
- Premium Racing – Utilizing industry-leading technology from ISOSPORT, this high-density, the high-speed base material is chosen for its molecular weight, which delivers unrivaled speed, excellent wear resistance, and increased wax permeability.
