old peter line fear and loathing 155.. marked as "twin tip"

is this directional or true twin?

the premarked stance position on the binding mounting area (slider system) has a bit of setback.. don't remember exactly how much but probably 3/4" to 1". does this indicate that the board is meant to be ridden with setback/is a directional twin?

i have it set as centered stance at the moment but wondering if i am doing something i shouldn't

If the ref stance has a setback you can be pretty sure that it's not a true twin.

Yeah, setback stance would indicate directional to me. Frankly, I ride a very directional board and while the tail is noticeably shorter when I'm riding fakie, it doesn't bother me... For a park board I'd want a true twin though.
