Buying Directional snowboard
A directional snowboard is best ridden in one direction and is characterized by a longer and wider nose compared to the tail. The tail of a directional snowboard is usually narrower, which is also referred to as tapered. You will almost always find the directional shape in freeride oriented snowboards. So if you are someone who loves diving into powder or prefers to ride sharp lines on the slope, then a snowboard with a directional snowboard is the best choice. In our webshop, you'll find snowboards with a directional shape from the best brands such as Bataleon, Jones, Lib-Tech, Roxy, Arbor, Burton, Nidecker, Rome, Capita and Gnu.
Directional snowboards perform excellently in fresh powder
If you frequently find yourself off-piste and prefer seeking fresh powder, you definitely need a good freeride snowboard with a directional shape. The advantage of this shape is that the wider and longer nose keeps the board well afloat on the snow. This is made possible by the short tail. Because of this, you stand further back on the snowboard, which gives the board a good "lift." You'll notice that you need to apply much less pressure on your back leg to keep the nose of the board above the snow.
Benefits of snowboard with a directional shape
A snowboard with a directional shape offers numerous advantages for riders who want to explore the entire mountain. With a clear distinction between the nose (front) and tail (back), the directional snowboard is designed to ride primarily in one direction, usually with the nose facing forward. This provides more stability and control at high speeds, especially on steep slopes and deeper powder snow. The shape makes it easier to turn and improves float in deep snow. It is particularly suitable for freeride and all-mountain riders who want to enjoy fast runs and adventurous terrains, while still offering the possibility to perform some tricks on groomed slopes.
Directional snowboard shape for unparalleled carve characteristics
Even when you want to go fast and carve, a directional snowboard is the most suitable choice. The wider nose ensures that the board responds quickly when you tilt the snowboard on its edge. You exit the turn by applying more pressure to the narrower and stiffer tail.
In summary: a directional snowboard is very suitable for carving and freeriding. A True Twin snowboard is ideal in the park and for freestyling. A directional twin snowboard is more suitable for all mountain / freestyle oriented snowboarders.
That's why most all mountain snowboards and freestyle snowboards have a directional twin shape. Most park snowboards and freestyle snowboards have a true twin shape. Most carve snowboards and freeride snowboards have a directional shape.
