Best Directional Twin Snowboards

Directional Twins combine the best of both worlds: the versatility of a twin-tip shape with the performance of a directional shape. Our snowboard reviews are designed to help you weigh tradeoffs to find the best fit. We collaborate with riders and gear experts to review each snowboard based on carving (how well the board turns on its edge and slices through the snow without skidding), speed (how easy it is to go fast), and switch (the ability to ride with either foot forward). We update our rankings weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.

Perfect board for:
Riders who want a floaty nose, tight sidecut, and maxim power tail.

The Lib Tech T. Rice Orca Snowboard is a versatile all-mountain board designed for advanced riders seeking a blend of freestyle and freeride performance. Built with Travis Rice's input, the Orca features a directional shape with a floaty nose for powder days and a powerful tail with "Whale Tail Technology" for maximizing pop and stability. The tight 7-meter radius sidecut ensures trench-carving precision on hardpack, while the wide body allows for comfortable riding and effortless maneuvering.

A rare and advanced piece of snowboarding progression from Lib Tech. It’s a wide, directional snowboard designed for power. Riding low-angle powder is a blast thanks to all the added buoyancy underfoot—in spite of the fact this this board was built for the steepest, deepest runs on earth. I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners, but it’s a great tool for bridging the gap into more advanced, all-terrain snowboarding when a rider is ready to challenge themselves.
