Donek snowboards (www.donek.com) used to make a twin tip. I think the
twin
tips disappeared from their website about 2 years ago, but you can always
call and ask if he can still make you one. I've had excellent
experiences
with Donek so far - my wife and I have bought 6 of them between us. If
you
want edge hold, it doesn't get any better without going to an alpine board
(which you don't ride fakie unless you are really good and showing off
)

Donek is coming out with a true twin tip for '05!!

For freestyle the Twin is absolutely the sickest board I've ever ridden.
For true hard carving freestyle this is the board to have.
It butters with ease yet plows through the crud. I haven't ridden the
Phoenix yet but it is supposed to be a bit stiffer and isn't a true twin.
Below are the specs for both models. You won't find these on the website as
they are being sold retail at your local snowboard shop starting early Fall.
If your local shop doesn't carry them have them give me a call.
