How will some of the key features of the Roxy Shima 90 enhance my experience?
The Shima 90 features a full wood core made from a poplar and beech blend for a lively yet stable flex. Reinforced with a triaxial fibreglass weave, it provides excellent torsional rigidity without the extra weight of metal laminates. The rockered tip and tail enhance float, pivoting, and smooth turn transitions, while the 90mm waist ensures quick edge-to-edge response. Its cap construction increases durability and reduces weight, and the medium flex delivers approachable handling suited to a wide range of ability levels.
