Shape, Profile and Sidecut

A directional twin shape adds a little more bulk towards the nose but keeps your bodyweight centred over the middle for stability. This makes it a great shape for learning in a range of terrain as that slightly larger nose will help you float in your first forays into powder and provide a larger balance point for nose presses and butters in the park.

The flat-out-camber profile is one of the best choices for beginners. Sure a rocker board might be the most forgiving to initiate turns on, but it lacks pop and can cause bad habits in your riding that might come back to bite you further down the line. By starting with this camber under foot you’ll have something to push into when you turn and will find loading up your first ollies that little bit more rewarding.

The flatter sections from the bindings outwards help to keep things a little more forgiving and the de-tuned nose and tail edges will reduce the dreaded edge catches if you under commit to a turn.

A simple radial sidecut is the order of the day here so that you can test the waters riding switch and guarantee a consistent turn response.

The super soft flex will help to keep things playful underfoot as you learn to start butting and playing with your different turn techniques. And although this softer flex might get a bit squirrelly at high speed, that’s probably a sign that you’ve made the absolute most of this board and a progressing into more challenging terrain!
