The board performs awesome in a wide range of conditions, it can be used for multiple styles, but it really excels at freestyle and new school freestyle.

The Player is Shinn’s solution for performance freestyle. The board is constructed using a new technology and the best composites and it is intended to offer no compromise performance. This board is not for everyone. It suits more than one style and behaves excellent in most conditions, it is stable and has a accurate control, but it is extremely powerful and fast and packs huge pop. It may not be the best choice for novice riders, but it is definitely the ultimate riding machine for pro and experienced freestylers. They will love the extra hangtime, speed and high jumps it offers as well as the fact that they can perform the most advanced technical moves with it.

The board has a hydrodynamic and compact shape which allows it to reach high speeds and accelerate quickly in any wind conditions. The Shinn team has also worked to improve the planning and upwind performance. A flat center rocker line increases the rail grip and provides extra pop and speed at the same time. The rider can perform quick carves and experience high jumps without any effort. The concave bottom design adds even more pop and assures excellent power release. The board has a very good stability and turns fast and tight.

The great thing about this board is that is has a reduced spray and absorbs the shocks resulted from power landings and wave impacts. The rails are enhanced to offer extra grip and allow a direct and accurate control. The rider can perform any maneuver and rest assured that the board is reliable and offers positive feedback at any command. The improved flex assures optimal response and makes the board agile and snappy. Shinn has used an Alabasia wood core structure to obtain the perfect flex and to make sure that the board is light, but extremely durable.

Plenty of comfort during the entire session is provided by the Sneaker binding system. This system is based on an EVA construction and represents the perfect connection between the rider’s feet and the board. It is very flexible and easy to adjust. The board comes in four sizes and features an elegant graphic design.
