Shinn Master Jack Kiteboard
Junior's high
Sizes: 120 x 36cm, 125 x 38cm
Master Jack is our Young Guns board and is far from being an adult’s board shrunk in the wash. Boundless enthusiasm and motivation demands a board that can be ridden fast and loose and forgives errors in the rider’s technique. Jack is not a kid’s board but a performance design created from the same high technology as all the Shinn range and finished to the same unrivalled level of perfection. Stars of the future need all the help possible to succeed and Master Jack is proof of our commitment to them.
All Shinn twin tips are supplied with our 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.
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. Our 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. In the case of our Monokini and Master Jack series this means re-shaping and re-sizing the strap to best fit the riders feet.
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 flexes 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). We say mostly because there are some other secret materials in there but we"re not going to give away all of our tricks!
To create a board for the stars of the future we first looked at the rocker. Many small boards are created using rockers designed for longer decks resulting in flat tips prone to nose diving and tripping. Master Jack features a specific XS rocker meaning it has full tip radius in proportion to it's reduced sizing. The outline also presented challenges due to the relatively small tip and tail surface areas. We maintained a straighter outline through the central section to give the speed and grip that younger riders enjoy however increased the curve radius in the tips to provide extra forgiveness should enthusiasm levels exceed the handling skills of the rider! As with all Shinn boards, Master Jack features a central concave washing out to flat areas in the tips to provide both earlier planning and extra flex control.
