Sims Vanish Snowboard 2021

JOHN JACKSONS FREERIDE CHARGER

John Jackson’s Sims Vanish is aimed at big mountain riders who are looking for a high performance freeride board that can put it down in even the most extreme terrain. Built around a cambered, fully directional tapered shape, it features an innovative wide, elongated nose profile. This advanced design gives the Vanish almost effortless float, ensuring that no matter how steep and how deep it gets this board is always going to put you in control. However, the Vanish isn’t just a powder board. Thanks to its combination of tight sidecut, high-end construction and powerful camber, it’s a revelation on the piste as well. So, if you’re an experienced rider who’s after a high performing board that’s going to deliver outstanding performance from the steeps of Alaska to the groomers of Morzine, then the Vanish could just be the perfect board for you.

Rider Style: Experienced Freeriders

Experienced freeriders riders who want a high-performance board that’s going to kill it no matter where you ride or how hard you push it.

Shape Overview: Long Nose Directional

The Vanish utilises an advanced fully directional shape to deliver outstanding performance both in the pow and on the piste. Perfect for hard-charging riders, its combination of tight sidecut and advanced profile makes it perfect for riders who want a board that makes blasting around look smooth and effortless.

Profile: Traditional Camber

The Vanish’s setback traditional camber profile is formed from a single convex arc between the board’s contact points. This responsive profile powers up the whole length of the edge, ensuring predictable edge hold and rebound as pressure is exerted and expelled throughout the rider’s turn.

Construction

When it comes to construction, the Vanish utilises some of the most advanced materials available. Heading this up is the advanced Unitive Core. This tip-to-tail wood core features Light poplar construction with wider bands of more rigid Standard Poplar running along the edges, delivering increased control and stability at high speeds. Now to give the Vanish its responsive performance, the core is profiled with Sims’s freeride specific Directional Wave Form. This innovative design creates thick and thin zones that match the setback of the camber profile, increasing drive, flex, and control. To step up response, Sims uses a 3-way structural layer that combines Light Tri-Tex fibreglass at 0º, 45º, and 90º. These deliver increased pop, rebound, flex, as well as increasing torsional stiffness. To ramp up power even further, Sims add a 50mm thick carbon fibre stringer running through the centre of the core. This powers up the flex through the length giving the Vanish a powerful and poppy flex while adding extra stability.

Base: Premium Racing (High Molecular Sintered)

Utilising industry-leading technology from ISOSPORT, this high-density, high-speed base material is chosen for its molecular weight. This delivers unrivalled speed, excellent wear resistance, and increased wax permeability.
