Needless to say, sales of this board are likely to be driven more by its retro-pervy Playboy graphics than how it actually rides. However, if you care about such things, you're in luck: A twin-shaped deck has meaty edges, built for deflecting impacts, and its core is beefed up in the center (but lighter at the tip and tails), which takes some effort out of spins while maintaining stability at high speeds. One thought: If you're worried about awkward looks on the lift, you might want to go with the Burton Vapor. (Of course, you could also just grow some balls.)
