Sims - Fakie Snowboard 2027

Surfy and nimble, the Fakie is a tapered, all-mountain freeride board with one direction in mind. A wide, elongated nose, semi-pinned 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.

• Shape

  Tapered Directional

• 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 5 Core

  By placing beech wood, which has excellent heat resistance, water resistance, a high strength-to-weight ratio, and elasticity on both sides, this Core has a significantly improved edge-to-edge response. 

• Directional Wave Form

  Matching the setback profile of the camber, this core form is optimized for directional powder riding.

• Tri-Tex Glass

  This is our most advanced matrix; a 3-way lay up that combines Light fiberglass at 0º, 45º, and 90º degrees, ensuring unquestionable pop, rebound, flex, and torsion in our highest performance boards.

• I Basalt Stringer

  Eco-friendly Basalt fiber material is integrated into a 40mm wide stringer which improves dampening; naturally reducing chatter and vibration at speed.

• Premium Racing Base

  This base utilizes a sintered high-density, high-speed base material chosen for its molecular weight, which delivers unrivaled speed, excellent wear resistance, and increased wax permeability. 

• Sizes

  153, 157, 161, 164

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.
