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.

Asymmetric
A deeper sidecut on the heel edge offsets the body's inability to put as much energy into heelside turns as a toeside turns. You bend your knees to power up the toe edge, as your knees don't bend backwards; you can't do that on the heel edge. The deeper heel edge increases response, balancing the response difference between the toeside and heelside.

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.

Dual Degressive Sidecut
The sidecut radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. By gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point, you get a smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.
