Which Twintip Fits Your Ride?

Start With Style, Skill, and Discipline

Before anything else, figure out where you are and where you’re headed.

• Beginner to progressing? Prioritize comfort, smooth flex, and forgiving rocker lines.
• Freeride-focused? Look for stability, grip, and efficiency in chop.
• Freestyle or Big Air rider? You'll want load-and-pop power, stiffness, and explosive control.
• Park rat or slider master? Durability and channeling matter more than ever.

Monarch Nvision vs Monarch

Both built for speed and aggression — and both are designed to be ridden one size smaller than your usual board. But they serve different masters.

Monarch Nvision is the premium, high-tech version. Built with a hybrid core of Paulownia wood and PVC foam, it nails the balance between featherweight flex and strategic stiffness. The 3K carbon/glass layup keeps things ultra-light and reactive – ideal for advanced Big Air riders who need quick reflex and explosive pop.

The Monarch brings rugged reliability. It shares the same aggressive shaping and profile but swaps the core tech for dual 10 cm UD carbon strips, increasing torsional stiffness while maintaining durability for boot sessions and high-impact riding. The Keel Lock Spine adds grip and control for precision freestyle.

Rider Match:

• Monarch Nvision: Advanced Big Air riders looking for every gram of performance.
• Monarch: Intermediate to advanced riders ready to commit to boost-heavy sessions.

Alana Nvision vs Alana

Both shaped for smaller riders, both packed with power. But one levels up the tech.

Alana Nvision is the high-performance, lightweight upgrade. Its hybrid foam/wood core shaves weight without compromising strength, while the 3K carbon/glass construction makes it insanely responsive underfoot. Refined for freeride and freestyle, it’s razor sharp in control and floaty in feel – ideal for lighter riders pushing progression.

The original Alana stays true to its roots: a reliable all-rounder with a narrower outline and tuned flex for female and lighter riders. FTC 2.0 tech and advanced shaping give it pop, grip, and a smooth release – the perfect combo for everyday freeride, freestyle, or boosting.

Rider Match:

• Alana Nvision: Lighter or female riders chasing top-end performance with minimal weight and max control.
• Alana: Lighter or female riders who want a dependable, versatile ride for all-around sessions.

Motion Nvision vs Motion

Same all-around soul – just supercharged.

Motion Nvision takes the freeride classic and strips it down to the lightest, crispest version yet. The hybrid foam/wood core and 3K carbon/glass construction make it ultra-light and ultra-responsive, giving freeriders next-level feedback underfoot. It’s still smooth and predictable – just sharper, snappier, and more refined for progression.

The original Motion is the do-it-all king. With a Paulownia core, Keel Lock Spine, and 3-stage rocker, it’s soft on chop, tracks upwind with ease, and handles anything you throw at it. A refined shape and lighter tips make it perfect for load-and-pop fun in all conditions.

Rider Match:

• Motion Nvision: Freeriders who want to lighten the load and amp up responsiveness with the most high-tech version of a proven platform.
• Motion: Riders of all levels who want one board for every session – from first rides to full-send freeride.

Drive

Smooth operator with serious upside.

The Drive blends carbon and glass for buttery flex with strength to spare. Triple concave bottom, balanced outline, and a medium rocker keep it composed in chop and explosive in air. Great for board-offs, thanks to the elevated handle and proven deck shape.

Rider Match:

• Intermediate to advanced riders who want a smooth yet high-performing ride for freeride, Big Air, and everything in between.

RPT 

Beginner-friendly, progression-focused, community-tested.

The RPT is a freeride favorite with major performance upgrades – think smoother water starts, grippier edging, and all-day ease. Its deep 6mm single concave and Keel Lock Spine (on most sizes) reduce side slipping and make upwind riding second nature. With a lower rocker for early planing and 5.0 cm IXEF fins for max grip, it’s a dream for newcomers and casual cruisers alike. Light wind sizes (152 and 162) ditch the spine and go asymmetric for easier handling in marginal conditions.

Rider Match:

• Beginners to intermediate riders. Perfect for your first seasons or laid-back freeride progression.

Traverse EJ Pro

Freestyle, park, and all things Ewan.

Designed with Ewan Jaspan, the Traverse EJ Pro screams pro-level freestyle and park. Long, narrow, and stiff, it’s meant to be ridden one size up. A continuous rocker and sintered base deliver smooth, controlled riding with durability to handle heavy hits. But don’t let the pro-level cred fool you — it’s surprisingly easy on the body, especially the knees and back, and doubles as a killer twin tip for wave sessions thanks to its smooth carving and forgiving flex.

Rider Match:

• Advanced freestyle/park riders, riders with bad knees or backs, and anyone who wants to hit sliders, smash some waves, or just ride hard without getting wrecked.

New to Twintips? Start Here.

New to the game? Stick with a board that offers flex, forgiveness, and control. Start with the Motion, Alana, or RPT – all are confidence-boosters without limiting progression. Once you’re flying high, you can graduate to the Monarch, Drive, or Traverse, depending on your style.

Why Nvision Hits Different

Nvision boards (Monarch Nvision, Motion Nvision, Alana Nvision) aren’t just rebranded graphics – they’re upgraded platforms. Hybrid cores, 3K carbon, precision shaping, and ultra-light builds. Nvision = speed, grip, control, and responsiveness, optimized for riders who demand more. First and foremost, Nvision is about being lightweight. Second, it’s about carbon construction for a responsive, crisp ride. They’re not just boards – they’re weapons.
