Snackpack Twintip

Performance & Feel

The Snack Pack is Reedin designer Damien Girardin's passion project — a board born from the frustration of watching kiters either ignore the waves on the way out or ignore the kickers on the way back in. The shape takes the outline, rails and rocker of a surfboard and makes it bidirectional, so you can load the edge and send it like a twintip, then link straight into a bottom turn when a wave shows up.

Coming from a twintip, the transition is quicker than you'd expect. The grip comes from fins and rails rather than tip channels, so the feel underfoot is different — fuller rails that float over chop rather than cutting through it, a wider stance that puts your back foot closer to the fins for control through turns. Upwind performance is surprisingly strong, the wide centre section giving plenty of surface to hold an edge. The board doesn't flex much, which keeps it stable at speed and predictable on high-speed landings. For a directional rider, the board feels immediately familiar — it carves, drives through turns and behaves the way a kite surfboard should.

On a wave it earns its reputation. The front-side carve lets you lean on the front foot and dig the rail the way you would on a directional waveboard. Top turns have real drive. The nose geometry saves you from pearling on touchdowns, the tail releases cleanly, and the bottom channels keep precision through turns at speed. For the twintip rider curious about waves but put off by how demanding a full surfboard feels to learn on, the Snack Pack is a genuinely useful bridge, you stay on familiar footing while building the feel for rail-driven turns. Full carbon construction handles wave turns and kiteloop landings without complaint, keeping the board light and strong throughout.

Sizes run from 142cm to 150cm. Large by twintip standards, but the volume is what makes the wave riding work. The Snack Pack accepts standard twintip bindings, so if you're already riding Reedin SuperBindings or Toasties, they'll mount straight on. Both are available separately in our Reedin accessories range.
