Description

Introducing the Shinn Capri GT, different for sure and part of a world without compromise! It's a flatwater, small wave carve hungry directional for lighter winds and flatter water. With a flat tail rocker and very flexible swallow tail it's very efficient for light-winds and upwind work, yet when pushed into a corner those wingers flex and it grips hard.

 

Fantastic for lightwinds and those smaller smoother waves with the buttery flat water in-between. Inspired by the alpine snowboards that let the riders literally lie flat whist carving the Capri loves to bury it's rails.

 

Inspired yet unashamed of its past, forward thinking and most certainly all forward riding. Have fun in the sun, refresh your old school tricks, refine some new school ones, ride fast, carve hard, cut deep and fly!

 

Advanced flex control for the smoothest ride imaginable, deep section memory foam pads for luxurious foot comfort, custom shaped fins for maximum grip and drive.

The Shinn Capri GT is about serious amounts of fun, big air busting and full rail carving.

 

Footbed and Straps:
The connection between rider and board can make or break the quality of your ride. Of course they should look slick but only after the function is perfect.

 

Borrowing heavily on the design from the hugely popular Shinn TT rider interface system Shinn understood that to have fun you have to be comfortable. Symmetrical outline, 20mm thick, deep-section EVA pads separate you from your board and cushion all impacts whilst their extended width directional straps hold you secure no matter your foot position on the board. Every Capri GT is supplied with self adhesive Clear Grip allowing you to improve traction wherever you desire it to be.

 

Shinn Kiteboarding's deep section EVA cushioning ensures luxurious comfort even during the harshest landings, whilst a carefully placed section of memory foam adjusts the surface to the shape of your feet after only a couple of hours riding. The Shinn footstrap has been shaped to provide maximum grip on your foot with minimal pressure points and complete ease of adjustability.

Fins:

Remove the need to ride backwards and you can dedicate the fin's shape and maximise its performance. 80mm of hand foiled, Hi visibility G-10 epoxy provides grip like you never thought possible through both the high-power edging necessary for boosting performance to full-rail carving for that ultimate Capri GT feeling.

 

Core Construction:
What's inside your board will make a huge difference to how it performs. There is a lot of talk about flex but the mount of flex is just the tip of the iceberg, what"s more important is where the board flex"s and how fast it responds after that flex.

 

Each Shinn twin tip has a carefully engineered core that optimises these characteristics and enhances them for the target rider. Core materials, glass layup and mould shaping are all factors that help us in this area but the heart of every Shinn twin tip is comprised 'mostly' of an Alabasia wood core.

 

No other core material offers the same blend of consistent flex over extended periods of time, feather light weight and near indestructible durability (not to mention environmental friendliness).

 

Flex and Mould:
The goal was to re-create the comfort and smooth riding properties of the Shinn Flex construction in a directional package. Using a slightly modified version of the new Shinn FS mould they created maximum flex in the outer areas of the board whilst maintaining essential rigidity underfoot. The deep cut fish tail permits the fins to flex independently of each other providing constant grip and traction no matter the conditions.

 

Constant Curve Rocker and Outline:
One way describes this rocker perfectly; transitioning from total flat in the tail, moving through the dynamic central concave and ending with an extended nose lift. 1400mm of design with one purpose only! Having fun!

 

Who is the board designed for:
For anyone wanting a board that is fantastic for lightwinds and those smaller smoother waves with the buttery flat water in-between!
