Explorer Snowboard

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.

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.

Volume shift boards swap length for width to give the same overall surface area but in a shorter, more manoeuvrable shape. Delivering a floaty ride, they tend to be more suited to boards designed to give a surfier feel. Volume shift boards generally use tight sidecuts to offset the slow edge-to-edge.
