Profile
Zero Camber
A predominantly flat profile that’s both forgiving and stable.
Standard Camber
Slight traditional camber zone translating to a more responsive feel while not being overpowering.
Extra Camber
More camber! A higher rise camber that gives the board a snappy, lively, and responsive feel.
Multi-Cam
A mix of traditional and reverse camber. Multi Camber blends maneuverability, ease of use, pop, and stability into one board.
Sidecut
This is part of what makes your board turn.
Quadratic
Blending of three radii to improve turn initiation/exit while providing the best grip possible. This design is uniquely formulated for each model based on its shape and riding style.
Elliptical Progressive
This sidecut combines tight elliptical curvature at the tip and tail to provide low-speed initiation and response with a larger radial section between the feet for high-speed stability and tracking.
Bi-Radial
A sidecut utilizing 2 distinct radii to allow for a relaxed turn initiation but superior edge hold when you are in your turn. This design provides a fun playful ride and tons of grip through turns.
Linear Quadratic
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.
Linear Twin
A twin sidecut that allows for the underfoot width of a wide board in the tip/tail width of a standard size. This design provides improved leverage on landings, grip through turns, and stability on flat base.
Radial Sidecut
A sidecut featuring a single, continuous arc from tip to tail—delivering smooth, consistent turns and effortless edge control.
Special Shaping
L.S.D. Shaping
(Ladies' Specific Design)
Every women’s board in our line has been specifically designed for the female rider. Featuring custom waist widths, flex patterns, and sidecut design, LSD Shaping results in a finely tuned board profile that works as one dialed package.
Asymmetric Shaping
Asymmetric sidecut shaping improves heelside turn initiation and control. Offering perfect balance while turning through different radii for the heel and toe side edges, the board just feels right!
Steel
RIDE’s Austrian-made steel wraps the entire perimeter of your board for the best delam protection around.
Standard Edge
Rockwell 48 C, standard snowboard edge.
Cleave Edge™ Steel
Nearly 50% more steel, delivers unmatched resistance to edge cracking and can be detuned to larger radii.
Fiberglass
Extra strength and lightweight construction with customized fiberglass. RIDE uses different types of fiberglass in the construction of every single snowboard we make. This isn’t a one size fits all solution, so we’ve come up with innovative variations and stitched designs ensure unparalleled durability and consistency.
Biaxial Glass
90° and 0° angles, fun and forgiving.
Hybrid Glass
Triaxial on top, biaxial on base; balanced torsional flex and stiffness for better response with speed.
Carbon Infused Glass
90° Carbon fibers stitched into the glass. Extra pop and response, without adding extra stiffness.
Pre-Cured Glass
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.
Glass Pedal
An additional layer of triaxial glass to increase response and stability for precise control and performance.
Base Materials
RIDE uses the highest quality Ptex base materials available for excellent durability and glide.
Extruded
The industry standard extruded 1500 Ptex base material. Good wax absorption and easy to repair.
Sintered
High-end sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.
Sintered Low Friction Race
The highest grade carbon-infused sintered base material available. Designed for speed.
Stone Ground
Premium finish applied to hold wax longer and keep you going fast in all conditions.
Tuned Core
RIDE blends the proven strength, pop and feel of wood with added dampening materials and composites. Mixing natural wood with high-energy “uppers” and vibration absorbing “downers” creates a core tuned for maximum snap and feel.
Foundation™ Core
Tip-to-tail Aspen wood core with proven durability that retains pop and flex.
Performance™ Core
High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light.
Performance™ Light Core
Specially formulated for light weight performance, this core combines lightweight Paulownia wood stringers with high strength Aspen.
Paulownia
100% lightweight Paulownia wood for maximum performance.
Sidewalls
RIDE’s responsive and smooth sidewall technologies level terrain input for consistent filtered feedback.
Slimewalls®
RIDE’s exclusive Slimewalls® are forgiving and ductile, absorbing impacts rather than defending against them. Just like your skate wheels, the urethane in Slimewalls® smoothes the interaction with the snow, wood or metal surfaces you may ride on. On top of all that, these babies are virtually indestructible, the most durable sidewalls in snowboarding.
Carbon Slimewalls®
This totally unique sidewall combines layers of Slimewalls® material and carbon strategically placed at the inserts out to the contact points in the tip and tail on a twin, and the back inserts to the contact points in the tail on a directional board. This exclusive tech enhances the charging rider’s experience as we have moved the carbon pop construction to the outside edge for better stability and enhanced response.
Slim Walls
RIDE's Slim Wall technology is the evolution of our Roll-in Construction to its extreme limit. By creating a fully 3-D composite structure over Slimewall® material, this revolutionary technology results in more efficient energy transfer, lighter weight construction, and even better damping.
Carbon Slim Walls
Further improving on Ride's revolutionary Slim Wall technology, Carbon Slim Wall integrates a full-length Carbon-Urethane composite laminate, that provides additional edge hold and energy transfer over our standard Slim Wall.
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.
Roll-In Construction
Unique 3D structure built around our urethane Slimewall® sidewalls. Designed to increase overall board strength, prevent topsheet chipping, and reduce weight.
Laminates
Carbon Array™
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.
Linear Carbon 10
10 Strips of carbon running tip to tail, added below the core provide more snap for ollie power.
Linear Carbon 5
5 Strips of carbon running tip to tail, added below the core provide more snap for ollie power.
Impact Plates
Added underneath each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breaks where it matters most. Offered in two levels, Single and Double.
Urethane Fill
Located in the nose of the board, these milled out sections of the core are filled with RIDE’s urethane material (similar to the Slimewall material). Keeping the nose of the board more stable and chatter resistant in the choppiest conditions.
Zonal Carbon Rails
Carbon fiber strips are placed along the edge of the snowboard from the contact points to the inserts. This allows for a more direct power transfer to the contact points.
Sustainability
We’re not perfect, but we’re working on it. Here’s how.
BIO Resin
Our custom formulated 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 from 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.
FSC® Certified Cardboard
How about that box your board ships in? That’s right, FSC® certified. That means it’s the good stuff. All RIDE Snowboards are packaged and shipped in FSC® certified cardboard, helping maintain healthy forests forever.
44% Solar Production
44% and rising! We’re working with our factories to utilize solar energy when producing RIDE products. We’re currently at using 44% sustainable solar energy, with plans in the works to grow that number in the coming years.
FSC® Certified Aspen
The core of your RIDE snowboard, made from wood. The Aspen we source is FSC certified. What does FSC® do? They work with forest managers, business, and consumers to maintain healthy forests forever. That means they work with wood providers to make sure everything is grown and harvested in a sustainable fashion. Which means you can feel better about that piece of wood under your feet.
