EXTRA CAMBER PROFILE:
More camber!
DIRECTIONAL SHAPE:
Designed to be ridden in one direction. More nose than tail, set back stance, and a sidecut to match. Can you still ride it switch? Yeah, of course. Is it going to be as good riding switch all day long? Probably not.
LINEAR QUADRATIC SIDECUT:
A directional sidecut utilizing Quadratic curvature from the tip to the rear insert pack, then progressing into a linear section into the tail. This creates smooth catch-free turn initiation and powerful support through the turn exit without losing grip.
METAL SLIM WALLS:
Metal Slim Walls utilize full-length Titanal Aluminum strips laminated into a urethane composite sandwich. Providing superior edge hold, more efficient energy transfer, and unbeatable durability. Metal Slim Walls provide race board performance by damping vibration and maintaining edge-hold while providing a playful flex pattern and responsive snap between turns. This groundbreaking technology is the first of its kind in the industry and solidifies RIDE as the leader in 3D and composite sidewall engineering.
DOUBLE IMPACT PLATES LAMINATES:
Added underneath each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breaks where it matters most.
Offered in two levels, Single and Double.
CARBON ARRAY™ 3 LAMINATES:
This power distribution technology provides total board control in every stance location. Widespread carbon stringers placed at the binding zone gather input from any stance width and all pressure angles. Rider input is then channeled to the opposing contact point for maximum board control. Offered in two levels of technology, 3 & 5.
PRE-CURED GLASS FIBERGLASS:
USA-made pre-cured fiberglass optimizes glass to resin ratios to create the most consistent flex pattern possible. No other glass provides this level of stability and control.
SINTERED LOW FRICTION RACE BASE:
The highest grade carbon-infused sintered base material available. Designed for speed.
STONE GROUND BASE:
The absolute best way to finish building a snowboard. Nice and flat base, no weird bumps or extra material. Stone ground is the way to go, ask your local tune shop.
PERFORMANCE™ CORE:
High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light.
STANDARD TOP SHEET EDGES:
Durable Urethane topsheet material with graphics only RIDE can bring you.
BIO RESIN:
Our plant based Bio Resin is one of the biggest impacts for sustainability. By using a Bio based resin instead of a traditional epoxy to assemble boards, we’re able to drastically reduce our carbon emissions while using less toxic chemicals. Win-win for everyone.
WEND® MEADOWFOAM BIODEGRADABLE WAX:
The Meadowfoam® factory wax we use is made from wildflower seeds native to California and Oregon. All WEND® Meadowfoam® snow wax blends are non-toxic and completely biodegradable
30% RECYCLED STEEL EDGES:
Everyone knows about recycling, but nobody thinks about it when it comes to snowboard edges. Hell, do people even think about their snowboard edges? Luckily for you we’re thinking of both. Edges on RIDE Snowboards contain 30% recycled materials. That means part of your snowboard could be made out of a car, an airplane, a building, who knows. Anything steel and recycled could turn into a snowboard edge
FSC® CERTIFIED PAPER PACKAGING:
What does this mean for snowboard packaging? Well how about those stickers on the base that are a pain in the ass to peel off? Yup, made with FSC® Certified Materials. Boxes the boards are shipped in? Also FCS® Certified.
