A small box at the end of a lap is the right place for a first 50-50, and the Gemini Snowboard keeps that slide approachable. This true twin park snowboard has Park Kick tips, a rise at both the nose and tail, so it rides the same in either direction. Flat sections run from the bindings out to each tip, with medium camber between the feet, a layout that stays forgiving while tricks get more ambitious. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Between park laps, I opened the Gemini up on groomers expecting a soft-flex board to wobble at speed, and it stayed steady instead. The three-direction fiberglass layup resists twisting, so the edges kept their grip as I picked up the pace. That left the board I learned boxes on with plenty of room to grow."
