Description

Tired of riding a board designed by men for male riders? The Shinn Kiteboarding Monokini is not just a man’s board in Pink but the result of shaking up the mix and thinking outside of the box.

Created to perform for a less aggressive, smaller rider using a less powerful kite for given wind conditions, Monokini is equally at home in flat water or chop and is guaranteed to improve the pleasure of riding for girls no matter their style or ability level.

 

Complete with smaller sized footstraps, the Shinn Monokini also features a reduced stance width in comparison to the other boards from Shinn.

 

Ladies, stand up for yourself and demand a board just for you.

 

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.

 

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. Multi-position fixation points allow you to fine tune your stance to perfection. The Shinn footstrap has been shaped to provide maximum grip on your foot with minimal pressure points and complete ease of adjustability.

Fins:
All Shinn twin tips are supplied with high visibility G10 fins and deck protection plates. Shaped exclusively for us from G10 Epoxy (for unsurpassed durability), this 53mm shape provides exceptional grip for it's size whilst still offering great manoeuvrability.

 

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).

 

Mould Shaping:
Shinn FS7. This mould is designed to provide the ultimate blend of POP and control. The area around the fins is able to flex ensuring comfort and grip when riding however the centre section of the tail has been stiffened to reduce loss of power when releasing from the water.

 

Rocker and Outline:
First step to creating an effective women's range was to reduce the widths of the boards in comparison to the lengths. Shorter and lighter, women don"t have the power in their legs to drive wider style boards. Shinn have used a straighter outline in the tips of the board to give outstanding grip and drive through the water without requiring excessive leg power and stuck to the same rocker as for Luigi to ensure great early planning and ease of use with smaller kite sizes.

 

The Shinn Monokini also features a reduced stance width in comparison to the other boards from Shinn. As with all Shinn boards, Monokini features a central concave washing out to flat areas in the tips to provide both earlier planning and extra flex control.
