2016 Shinn 135x42cm MONK Twintip w/fins & pads + Bag | USED ★★★★☆ 4/5

This is the all-new Monk Glitch. For 8 years we’ve tweaked and tuned a proven design but for 2020 we’ve taken a huge step forward to bring you a board we believe will redefine the shape of freeride performance to come. Our goal? To maintain the characteristics the Monk has become famous for –unbelievable chop handling, amazing carving and an outstandingly comfy ride –and add even more grip, rip and slash to the mix. Normal channels create drag by redirecting the water travelling across the board but on the Glitch, we’ve maximised the efficiency by encouraging the flow through the critical areas rather than forcibly redirecting it all the while paying close attention to the dynamic flex profile ensuring that the comfort and control elements are not sacrificed. How does it compare to the Monks that came before? More grip, more drive and more POP yet softer landings, same comfort and same chop handling. Outstanding through all varieties of conditions -theMonk Glitch, how much more fun can you have?
