What's the difference between a directional twin and a true twin?

The key difference is stance position. Both have symmetrical outlines, but a directional twin has the insert pack set back 10-20mm from center, while a true twin has a centered stance. This setback gives the directional twin better float in soft snow and a more natural forward-riding feel, while the true twin offers perfectly symmetrical switch performance. The board shapes look identical from above—it's the stance position that differs.
