UAP

By SIMS
$615.00
grandeur

The UAP is inspired by the SIMS Shaun Palmer UFO pro-model. The base graphic is identical to the OG UFO, and the top sheet graphic is an ode to Palmer’s Joker. The UAP is a Long Nose Twin. Tip and tail widths are the same. Surfy off-piste float from the longer nose profile, the powers of traditional camber, and by keeping the tip and tail widths equal, the UAP is able to freestyle in all directions. 

The UAP is built on SIMS MOD 4 Core, a blend of poplar, bamboo, and Paulownia wood enhanced with two parallel bamboo stringers running tip to tail under the hole pattern. The nose and tail are reinforced with a Dual X Carbon layup. Flexible Thin Tip Tech cuts unnecessary core material at the ends of the board for reduced swing weight. We finish the UAP with Tri-Tex Fiberglass, our most advanced 3D matrix, and a Premium Racing Base.

Technical Specs

Traditional Camber

A single convex arc between the board’s contact points ensures predictable edge hold, load, and rebound as pressure is exerted and expelled throughout the rider’s turn.

MOD 4 Woodcore

A unique blend of poplar, bamboo, and Paulownia wood in a balanced array, make this Core lighter and provide increased repulsion, increased strength, and a lively feel. 

Premium Racing Base
This base utilizes a high-density, high-speed base material chosen for its molecular weight, which delivers unrivaled speed, excellent wear resistance, and increased wax permeability
Flexible Thin Tip

This weight-saving technology reduces material in the board’s tip and tail, resulting in lighter swing weight which makes it easier and faster to spin and rotate tricks.

Tri-Tex Fiberglass Laminate

This is our most advanced matrix; a 3-way lay up that combines Light fiberglass at 90˚, 45˚, and -45˚ degrees, ensuring unquestionable pop, rebound, flex, and torsion in our highest performance boards.

Dual X Carbon Lay-up

Two X profile carbon layers underfoot reaching out into the tip and tail provide evolved pop, stability, and efficient power transmission edge to edge, making this construction one of our most versatile and responsive anywhere on the mountain.
