I don't think you'll find a true twin board for rental anywhere in Sainte Foy. However, most "normal" snowboards are as near to twin-shaped as makes no difference for most people. Just set the bindings up centrally and go for it.
That said, there are advantages to a slightly set-back stance and if it's your first trip, there's no real rush to learn switch.
Being able to move in either direction on either edge is pretty normal - it's making turns switch that's the tricky bit.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

limawhiskey, Pop in to your local ski hire shop and ask for a twin tip snow board, then sit down for 10 minutes whilst the guy tries to stop laughing seriously though unless you are going to dedicated snow board hire shop I doubt you will get one.
Not trying to teach you to suck egss, but did you really have a 'twin tip' ? most snowboards have 'two tips' but reference to a 'twin tip' is something quite specific. a directional double/two tipped board looks almost symmetrical but a 'twin tip' is symmetrical.

Oh I'm not sure then, it just looked symmetrical to me. It might not have been. As I said, I've only just started so any information is new to me.
Having said that, the hire counter staff never asked whether I would be boarding regular or goofy so I assumed all the hire boards are completely symmetrical. I didn't realise they were rarely used.
I'm not in a particular rush to learn to ride switch, just thought it might be a good idea to do it as soon as - while it's all new to me.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ah, most boards have a slightly longer front end than the tail end and for that reason are referred to as directional boards but look pretty symmetrical. Normally your bindings are slightly closer to the rear of the board than the front but you can still ride switch quite easily on them.
