Twintips explained (freeride, freestyle, rocker, outline etc) 

This video is in a class of itw own: Systematic, explanatory, well structured. Thank you.

This is really interesting to watch. A true masterclass, Thank you for the effort you put in this video.

Superb - and much needed - complex subject expertly compartmentalised & explained - with top graphics - huge thank you! :)

So informative. Really, your videos are the most informative IN GENERAL of everything I watch on youtube. Thank you!!!

I hated watching this video cos I thought I might have purchased the wrong board. Turns out I didn‘t and now I understand more about why. Great video!

We all needed this video, thanks

Keel. I love that keel on the newer imperators for big air. You can land hotter. Big difference to older imperators which were just flat.

Damn, I’ve been looking for this video for quite some time… masterclass and excellent content!! Thanks a lot mate

I have been figuring this out and after some years of trying different boards have ended up with basically pretty much a park board. I will likely still end up trying to get a slightly flatter board but for now I like it. With regards to getting up wind and getting going in lighter wind you just learn to work with it. A couple of points. A centimeter or two of stance width will make quite a big difference to how centered or back footed you ride it. It's for sure something to play around with instead of just set and forget like a lot of people will do it. Stance will modify flex between the center and the tips to have more or less springiness in either direction. It's all again very personal but it does modify how springy your pop is or how hard you have to push a board off it's rails to turn. Another interesting thing is when riding very powered up a board with high rocker soaks up gusts by dragging you off the rail because the board doesn't grip as sharply. Obviously that means it soaks up "performance" but it can also make a gusty day way more enjoyable. You can still overcome this to a point with good edging technique. I think boards is quite a fascinating topic. Boots is also something fun I tried the first time about a year ago. The amount of control and precision you get over a board is absolutely insane.

This video is just insanely good. Well-structured, clear and excellent visualization. Thank you!

Great. All brands should have videos like it. That would seriously boost sales. Like i want the jaime now after watching this

great and usefull video. please make a similar one explaining how to choose harness

Best presentation about t tips out there; you got me thinking...... Well done

Clear and simple! Not an easy task! Congratulations!!

Nailed it, easily the best vid on the subject

Exellent video, as usual! :)

Thank you so much! Best video to understand boards ❤

Greeat video! Now i have sure that Jaime is the right board for me! Thanksss

Phenomenal video. Much like the kite shape video. Thanks a lot.

Great vid, I rented a board with higher rocker than my own dows and I had such a hard time staying upwind with less wind. Really started to doubt my skills and wind awareness on that spot. But the carving for a jump was so much easier to do

Really great explanations :) im looking at getting the Jaime SLS 2024 soon, new shape and material looks good.

These videos are so precious ❣

Wow! Very nice! Though you use the Duotone boards as examples your explanaitions always stay general enough to be applicable to other brands. On the other hand all explanations are specific enough to truely answer a lot of questions! Great job!

Excelent as always ❤

Waouh, gold video as always. I only have one board, now I know I need at least another 10 of them..😂

Amazing video!!!

Thanks for the video

Enjoyed that. Great vid

Excellent ! Shared !

Great video! See you around in Laangebaan

would be also very appreciated on surfboard! that probably are still also less known!

Thank you for the great video. It would be great if you could make a similar video for strapless surfboards, if it is with Duotone surfboards, this would be even greater 😀

Very educating video😊

thanx in the name of the twintip riders. some of us do not use such a pieces of gear but nevertheless, informative!!!!

well done Alex! I love slightly more rocker and rounded shape, basically straight board are for beginner or freestyler Recently I'm passing to surfboards too

Fantastic video, at 10:08 - i'd suggest Hooked Big Air, Twin tip big air, or just big air. I hardly hear anyone use the term freestyle for big air

Danke!

thank you fot this if its possible would be nice to have one with surf boards

Brilliant video, thank you! Can the jaime work ok in chop and playing around on the occasional wave? Do the angled edges cause the toeside edge to catch in the water a lot more and throw the rider over?

Amazing video! Thank you so much for taking the time to put the great and thorough overview together! A question on boards over the years: Would a newer board, eg 2023 Select make a big difference for someone like me? I have a second hand Gaastra Xenon from 2014. I’m a beginner who just recently started riding successfully upwind.

I am a 95kg rider and have problems with shin splints from kiteboarding sessions with my current 145x45 fairly square board. My interest is hooked freeride and jumping. What do you recommend for less impact on shins in this situation?

How does the length of a board impacts the ability to aggressively carving? For example does a 142 jaime carves less good than a 136 jaime?

If someone will ask you to pick one Duotone board to the rest of of the life , what board it will be and what size ? ;)

Hi, I can’t find any info on how to become a member. I’d like to join please!

With around 72kg, would you suggest to take the 138 select for 35kts conditions? Or go even smaller to the 135? Thanks

Hi, why not do the same thing for the kite types too? freestyle, freeride, wave etc.

What is sls board. Thanks for your videos. And fock wing

When would you pick the Select over the Jaime?

13:40 unhooked freestyle = wakestyle ?
