Sims Snowboards - W25 Fakie

Surfy and nimble, the Fakie is a tapered, all-mountain freeride board with one direction in mind. A wide, elongated nose, squashed out tail, and a setback stance, make for a powder profile to reduce back leg fatigue and keep you driving off the front when the deep days arrive. The Fakie has a generous sidecut that is perfect for navigating through tight trees and is also snappy and playful on the groomers.

Tech Specs

The Fakie rides on SIMS MOD 5 construction—American light poplar wood with thin bands of beech wood run along the edges for increased edge hold and stability at speed. SIMS Directional Wave Form technology advances core construction further by thickening the core under the binding hole patterns, resulting in greater shock absorption, the ideal flex pattern, and quicker edge-to-edge response from the slight increase in leverage. SIMS Flexible Thin Tip tech reduces material on the board ends for less swing weight. 

We run a 40mm stringer of eco-friendly I Basalt carbon fiber down the center of the Fakie to reduce chatter and vibration at speed and seal the envelope with Tri-Tex fiberglass, our most advanced 3D matrix. The Fakie gets you the goods faster with a Premium Racing base.
