Product Description
The SHIM is perfect for intermediate to advanced riders looking to take their skills to the next level. The SHIM has a fast rocker that allows it to carry speed anywhere on the curl, and its shorter profile makes it super maneuverable for rotational and air tricks. This new shape also features our DuraShell Construction which combines the buoyancy and feel of a high-end EPS board and the durability of a compression molded shape. Overall, the SHIM delivers the best of all worlds and one that a wakesurf enthusiast can’t pass up.
