Directional twin snowboard; one of the most versatile shapes

A snowboard can have different shapes. A common variation is a directional twin snowboard. This means that in most cases, the shape is symmetrical but the bindings are placed slightly backward. Moving the bindings backward is also called setback. A big advantage of setback is that a longer nose allows the board to steer better and it provides more float when diving into fresh powder. In addition, the flex pattern is not completely symmetrical. The nose of the board is smoother and the tail is stiffer. This makes a directional twin snowboard very versatile and gives the board different characteristics than a directional shape snowboard or a true twin shape snowboard.

Advantages of a directional shape snowboard

A snowboard with a directional twin shape combines the advantages of both a directional and twin shape, making it a versatile and popular choice for snowboarders of all levels. With a symmetrical shape and flex, the board looks like a twin, meaning both the nose and tail are the same shape and length. This makes it easy to ride both forward and switch (backward) and makes it ideal for freestyle riding, tricks and riding the park.

However, the distinguishing feature is that the board's flexibility, stiffness and setback are matched to a slight directional, with the nose being slightly longer and wider than the tail. These directional aspects improve performance on the mountain. With the directional twin, you get more stability and grip at high speeds, and better control when riding in powder or on steep slopes.

However, the board retains enough freestyle capability to perform tricks and jumps. This makes it a favorite choice for all-mountain riders who like to try a little bit of everything - from freestyle tricks in the park to exploring all-mountain terrain. It's also suitable for freestyle riders who like to ride outside the park occasionally.

In short, the directional twin shape offers a balanced mix of stability, control and playfulness, giving snowboarders a great experience regardless of their riding style or the conditions on the mountain.
