“The Evil Twin is super fun playful freestyle board. I actually got to give this board a go in a variety of conditions and enjoyed it in all. The Evil Twin is definitely aimed at a rider who loves the park but loves when you take it all over the mountain carving pistes and boosting side hits. Is that you?? Pretty sure it’s all of us? Right?

“It locked onto rails well and the 3BT base 100% saved me when I undercooked a spin off a rail”

It’s really fun in the park! Stable taking off and landing jumps, pretty damn light so it feels great in the air. It locked onto rails well and the 3BT base 100% saved me when I undercooked a spin off a rail. I enjoyed the extra freedom the 3BT gave me to spin off rails (and other features), it felt way less likely I was going to catch an edge on the snow if I didn’t have the spin bolts. Having that freedom will allow you to confidently attempt new tricks in the park, side hits, natural features, the pub, anywhere, I guess.

Between the feet the Evil Twin has a good amount of torsional stiffness, matched with full camber, it can rail a carve very well. I found it to have loads of edge hold when laying into a big carve. The tip and tail are so soft, you will be stomping new butter tricks on this in no time! FUNN as freestyle board!!”

“I’m about as far from a park rat as they come. Most of my days are spent on the pistes, in between them, or out in the backcountry. I’ll definitely take a few laps through the park when the sun’s shining, but it’s hardly my default setting.

That said, my usual preference for a board is a true twin shape. I try to ride about as much time in switch as I do regular and I’m constantly on the hunt for sidehits, drops and natural features.

“There are few other boards out there that inspire as much confidence or offer as much forgiveness to get yourself in some pretty kinky positions and lock in a few new flat land combos”

The Evil Twin suited me down to a T. A solid, medium to stiff(ish) flex, full camber from tip to tail and – obvious enough with that name – a true twin shape.

It’s stiff enough to go full ham down the piste and rail a carve. I didn’t notice the lack of a taper or stiffer tail here, but it’s still super easy to press about and jib on. That’s in no small part to the Twin Triple Base profile.

If I’m being honest, 3BT doesn’t really do it for me on the pistes. I find the edge to edge sensation a little weird – almost like my body has to lean a bit more before I feel the edge finally lock-in and engage. I prefer that ‘snap’ that you get from a regular camber profile.

Having said that, there are few other boards out there that inspire as much confidence or offer as much forgiveness to get yourself in some pretty kinky positions and lock in a few new flat land combos. In the space of one run, I think I’d learned about four new butters.

There are even fewer boards that feature on a full camber profile and still allow for some float in deeper snow. The Evil Twin isn’t a one-stop-shop if you’re eyeing up some bigger backcountry faces this year, but on those days when you wake up to unexpected freshies, you won’t find yourself frantically switching your bindings onto another deck. This’ll do just fine.
