Ride’s Twinpig Snowboard offers an excellent balance between freestyle creativity and all-mountain precision. With a softer flex than most of the Pigs in the Pig series, the Twinpig definitely feels the most like a freestyle deck and offers the true twin shape and poppy ride to back it up. That’s not to say that the innate aggression and versatility of the Pig series has been compromised here, but it’s definitely more concentrated in the freestyle realm. A wide body allows the Twinpig to thrash everything—from groomed take-offs and tough transitions to high berms off-trail, this extra heft in the Twinpig’s build adds to its mystique. Ride’s asymmetrical shaping gives the Twinpig another advantage, this time when carving on firm terrain. Ultra-grippy on the heelside of the board, this unique sidecut design elevates precision when carving and stability when taking off from the heels. Complete with a standard camber profile and a bit of fiberglass in its core, the Twinpig means nothing but business.

In blending the versatility and power of the Warpig with the playfulness of a park twin, the Twinpig is able to offer the best of both worlds. Experienced riders seeking traditional park performance with some hard-charging tendencies will find a lot to love within the Twinpig’s fierce and unrelenting persona. Though it may be too wide for some riders, this extra surface area will benefit those who need a stable and sturdy foundation to make it through deeper, more technical snow. From advanced snowboarders who never leave the terrain park to intermediate rippers who cruise the mountain like a playground, the Twinpig makes an excellent accomplice.
