The Sims Protocol is a freeride snowboard - ideal for riding off the beaten path. With a directional shape, this board will be a downhill force. 

This snowboard has a camber profile. A positive camber snowboard, often referred to as a "regular camber" or "traditional camber," has been the most common camber design for snowboards since the beginning of the snowboarding industry, and until about 2005, was all you could get. When the rider compresses the snowboard with his or her weight, the board provides continuous contact with the snow, allowing for great edgehold and precise turns, making it ideal for groomed runs. The downward curve of the board will not allow it to float very well in powder, but, acting as a type of spring, will provide extra "pop" while testing your skills in the park.

The Sims Protocol has a directional twin board shape, A directional twin shaped (aka "twin tip") board is symmetrical in shape. However, the stance is set back and tail is more stiff to make riding in one direction more stable. The snowboard can also be ridden switch, but it won't perform as well as when ridden in your regular stance.

A board with medium-stiff flex will be slightly receptive to bending, but excels at maintaining stability at high speeds. A medium-stiff flex is a good fit for a rider who is looking for a higher degree of stability and control while riding through powder or steep mountain verticals.
