This could be the only vice that won’t put your bank balance into the red or damage your health. Sims are back with a belting range and the Ultimate Vice Bamboo is their flagship. A Bamboo topsheet and Basalt fibre laminates reduce the effect of your purchase on the environment whilst providing a smooth and powerful ride. The Ultimate Vice Bamboo is designed for strong all mountain freestylers who want a board with a stiff lively flex and an all mountain shape for versatility in different snow conditions.

Manufacturer's Description:

The eco-friendly Ultimate Vice is inspired by the 1988 Sims 1700 Ultimate board graphic. This directional twin tip Ultimate Vice features a direct print process on a bamboo topsheet, bamboo sidewalls, an X wood core and basalt glass. Great for the environmentally conscious who love to shred including Sims pro riders Colin Langlois and Gaetan Chanut.
