Twin Tips, as their name suggests, are identical in both the tip and tail. The stance reference position is centred in the middle of the board, creating a fully balanced snowboard. Twins perform the same both forwards and backwards. The balanced shape gives the rider more control when spinning.

Blunt Tips
Blunting the tips of a board removes excess weight from the extremities. This reduced weight lowers the board's swing weight, giving more control when spinning and helps keep the edge engaged through the carve.

3BT
Torsional twist tries to disengage the contact points when a board turns, forcing you to move your body weight to keep them engaged. 3BT’s flat centre base and side base upturns at the tip and tail cancel this out, keeping the contact points fully engaged. This engagement means you can ride with less effort and no performance loss. 3BT also improves float and reduces the likelihood of catching an edge.

Side Kicks
Side Kicks are an additional upturn at the contact points of 3BT snowboards. Sidekicks engage the snow before the sidecut engages, giving the board a super-fast turn initiation and exit and creating a dynamic riding experience.
