Park Snowboards

True twin shape

A park board is symmetrical front to back — identical nose and tail, centred stance. This is non-negotiable for serious park riding because you need to ride switch as naturally as your regular stance. A directional board mounted in a duck stance isn't the same thing. True twins are built to be ridden both ways.

Medium-soft flex

Park boards typically run 3–6/10 flex. Soft absorbs impacts on landing, presses and jabs easily into boxes and rails, and rewards creative riding. Too soft and you lose pop off the lip; too stiff and you fight the board on every feature. The 4–5/10 range is the sweet spot for most park riders who want pop without punishing landings.

Flat or rocker profile

Most park boards use a flat base (maximum edge contact for rail slides and presses) or a mellow rocker (easier butters, softer catch on takeoffs). Full-camber park boards exist for riders who want maximum pop from the lip — more demanding to ride, more rewarding at the top level.

The brands we carry

• YES — the Basic and Standard are excellent all-mountain twins that also work well in the park. CamRock profile gives pop and forgiveness.

• Ride — the Twinpig applies the surfy Pig shape to a twin format — playful and fun in the park.

Sizing and setup

Most park riders ride slightly shorter than their all-mountain board — 2–4cm shorter for easier spin initiation and quicker response between tricks. Softer bindings and boots (3–5/10) match the flex of a park board for a forgiving, playful feel. See our snowboard size guide and all our buying guides.
