burton's "twin-like" vs "directional twin"
I know in the grand scheme of things this really doesn't matter....but
its bugging me I can wrap my head around true twin & directional. I can get my head around the idea of a directional twin. But what the hell is the difference between burton's definition of "twin-like" vs "directional twin"? I mean looking at the specs of similar sized boards that are consider either type have huge overlap. There was no mention of twin like in the 2007 catalog. Twin-like "versatility & added pop of a directional flex and shape but w/ a twin tip & tail inspired shape for turning & landing switch" Directional twin "get the look of a twin tipped freestyle board but with the all mountain versatility of either a directional stance or flex pattern....shape is designed to give more pop in the tail and making it easier to maintain control"...blah blah blah" ( i know "or" but keep reading below) looking thru the 08 catalog you can find examples of "twin-likes" w/ negative or even cores & "directional twins" w/ either negative or even cores....almost all of each type have symmetrical tail & nose widths like a true twin....tail & nose length on some "twin likes" are similar to "directional twins" with set back... i think there are directional twins that have centered stances like i said the marketing is bugging me.... |
