Stepchild Simon Chamberlain - 2011

/images/brands/stepchild/logo/stepchild_logo.gif

The Stepchild Simon Chamberlain isn’t your stereotypical jib board; but what would be the point in Stepchild creating yet another jib-specific snowboard? Simon’s a powerful and fluid rider that finds pressing and tweaking effortless, he therefore needs a board with balls. This winter he’s stuck with a directional-twin shape, quadrax fibreglass and regular camber but also added Kevlar reinforcements for added pop and longitudinal stiffness. Simon’s Pro Model isn’t a jib board; so if you’re looking for a board to dominate rails and small hits then you should look else-where. If you’re looking for a medium/stiff directional-twin board that you can use to carve-up the hill, ride halfpipe, stomp heavy landings and slide rails at speed then definitely check the SC out. This is a board for powerful advanced snowboarders looking to ride the whole mountain.

Manufacturer's Description:

Simon’s board has always been one of our most popular boards in the line. Simon chose to stay with a regular camber board and add Kevlar reinforcements to the core profile. The Simon Chamberlain Pro model is a twin flex with a twin shape and a slightly longer nose to keep it above the snow on those powder days. This is what we call a directional twin. The core consists of tip to tail poplar and beech wood. The Simon also comes with high-quality quadrax glass, die-cut base with a speedy structurn finish. Like JP’s Pro Model; Simon’s board also comes with 28 inserts for maximum stance options. Bible not included.
