“If you’re after one board to do it all, regardless of how on how you’re feeling, the Continental Twin would be an excellent choice. Though it’s a true twin it was nothing short of great going forwards (let’s be honest; my direction of choice these days) and, naturally, switch felt just as on point.

“For doing a bit of everything and making sure you always have a big ol’ grin on your chops, the Continental Twin is hard to beat”

I was on the rocker version, which Vimana call ‘True Rocker’ with a subtle 2mm lift at each end making it feel basically like catch-free camber. It was super lively with lots of pop and even a King Cobra would be jealous of how quickly it can sweep from side to side.

When cruising and buttering around it felt super fun and mellow with no twitchiness, but surprisingly when throttled up it carved like a knife and was exceptionally stable. There are certainly boards out there that offer more of a challenge and also boards that would be a better choice if gunning powder faces, or sticking to the jibs, or sending the pro line is your sole concern.
