$499 Intermediate to Expert Freestyle Discontinued as of 2011 The Burton Twin has been around for a while so they must be doing something right. If you take away the name you still have an average to good ride from it. The Twin is camber in shape which isn't as popular these days. It still has a good spring and will do a good job most places in the park. The Twin is also very stable for going bigger
Burton is huge. They have developed or acquired most of the technology that we use today. Burton is one of the only companies that can provide you with everything you need to snowboard from boards to beanies. Burton even owns arguably the best surfboard company Channel Islands because Jake likes to surf. They are like the Yankees of snowboarding because they can always outspend their competition to win.
The positives- Burton provides more products for each gear/clothing/accessory category than any other company. Burton has possibly the best customer service in the snowboarding industry. Burton continuously spends more money than almost any company to develop new tech or just make what they have better. Burton sponsors more pro’s and get’s more high level user feed back than any other company. They have some of the best boots, bindings and boards in the industry. They also have great clothing. The Negatives- Because Burton spends so much money on sponsorship and tech they have to pass this cost along to the products they sell. They relentlessly continue to jack up the prices every year. You are almost always going to get a good product from Burton’s higher end line but some mid to low level products don’t stack up to the competition in the same price range. Burton always tries to make proprietary tech like the channel tech and 3 hole binding tech so you can only ride Burton Gear which sucks! We wish they wouldn’t act like the Microsoft of snowboarding.
The bottom line is Burton is the 800lb patriarch of our industry that makes good stuff and backs it up with good customer service. The snowboarding world owes soo much to them but at the same time they can be very frustrating when it comes to price and proprietary technology.
Mikey Rencz and his Twin™ have this super weird connection—like they always know what the other one is thinking. Whether raining hammers deep in the backcountry or keeping it “mellow” off the lifts at Whistler, this duo shreds better together. As if their connection couldn’t be closer, this year they’re both enjoying the mind-altering connectivity of the Channel for unlimited stance options with any Burton binding.
Featured Tech
The Channel
The Channel is snowboarding’s most direct connection—focusing power through a central connection spine that evenly distributes energy for added rebound and snap. It works with both Burton’s 3D® and EST™ bindings, and lets you mount bindings to board any way you see fit. Easily dial in your stance width and angles with next-level micro-adjustability.
The wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges, perpendicular to the rest of the wood core, for superior edge hold and added strength.
Negative Core Profile
The team’s favorite profile features thinner sections of core between the bindings for softer flex and torsion. Perfect for everything from park, pipe, and pow to rails and boxes, these boards excel over a variety of terrain and conditions.
Park Fly Cores
Beefier between the bindings and lighter at the tip and tails, these cores are soft where you want it, burly where you need it, and super light all around.
Glass
Dual Density Triax Response Fiberglass
Dual-density fibers from tip to tail strengthen high-impact zones without adding weight or changing the overall forgiving flex of our park boards.
Another Burton first. Tapering the thickness of the tip and tail dramatically reduces swing weight and creates a more playful flex in the tip and tail.
The shape is perfectly symmetrical for a balanced ride that’s equally versatile when ridden regular or switch. Jib, spin, stomp, and butter with a greater balance of freestyle mobility and cat-like stability.

Tuning
Infinite Ride
This exclusive pop and power-enhancing technology allows us to maximize pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks the board in for you. The result is a consistent feel from the first day forward, season after season.
Extra-meaty 10:45 Sidewalls use two different angles to absorb the impacts that aggressive riders dish out.

Extras
Living Color Graphics
The Twin features our Living Color graphics that morph the topsheet art as temperatures drop. Inside your house, or on slushy days, the topsheet features a tonal graphic. When the mercury dips below 40°F, the topsheet’s dark side comes to the forefront. The dynamic nature of the ink makes for a constantly evolving graphic.

Edge Technology
Grip & Rip Edge Tune
Our tried and true edge tune, perfect for slicing and dicing the entire mountain to pieces.
Flex
Twin
The flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for a balanced ride that’s equally versatile when ridden regular or switch.
