Shaped to fly. Himeji City resident Tadashi Fuse aired the Pacific and Stonped it in front of snowboarding’s international lens over 20 years ago, inspiring generations of riders around the globe with his Japanese freestyle precision in British Columbia’s heaviest backcountry terrain. The STF is a long-nosed twin tip, designed by Tadashi to float through the deepest days at home in Japan, send it off the biggest step-downs in Whistler’s outback, and smash through pillows wherever they stack.

Tech Specs

The STF features SIMS MOD 4 core, a blend of poplar, bamboo, and Paulownia wood running tip-to-tail with bands of more rigid bamboo on the edges, making the STF stable at speed and one of the most aggressive boards in the SIMS line-up. The core profile is enhanced with SIMS Twin Wave Form technology. The thickened wood core under the binding hole patterns provides greater shock absorption and a quicker edge-to-edge response from the slight increase in leverage. 

Tadashi prefers traditional camber for its predictable pop from the lip and rebounds out of turns. Flexible Thin Tip technology reduces material and swing weight for faster rotations and an overall lightweight feel in the air. Tri-Tex fiberglass, our most advanced, high-end matrix, and a 50mm wide strip of I Carbon, increase power, torsional rigidity, and durability. The Sims Tadashi Fuse runs on SIMS Premium Racing Base. Arigato, Tadashi!
