Details from Sims:
Of all the tricks and tweaks, it is the feeling of turning a snowboard in powder that hooks most riders. The Solo is our modernization of the SIMS 1983 FE. We’ve updated the outline and juiced the construction with the technologies of today to offer a ride from the past that is so dang fun it feels like it must be from the future. An off-the-tail, magical float, turns the mountain into a point break experience. This shape changed a lot of people’s lives in the ’80s and depending on what you normally ride the Solo could possibly change your trajectory as well.

Tech Specs
Set back Pow Camber starts right after the V-Tail and transitions into an early rise nose from the front contact point. The MOD 5 core is enhanced with SIMS Directional Wave Form. We slightly increase core thickness underfoot for even flex and heightened dampening characteristics, the taller profile also providing increased leverage when rolling the Solo onto the edge.
For the Solo, we use Liten fiberglass, a smooth-flexing, low chatter matrix that offers excellent torsional rigidity and finishes it with a Premium Racing Base. Smooth, fast, floaty, and inspiring. Every snowboarder should have a deck like the Solo in their quiver.
