Construction & Camber Profile

RIDE's construction diagram shows the camber profile along with the laminates layered through the board.

Zero Camber

A predominantly flat profile that's both forgiving and stable. It gives the Psychocandy a loose, surfy, easy-to-pivot feel underfoot and keeps the board predictable at speed.

Directional Shape

More nose than tail, a set-back stance (-19mm), and a sidecut to match. It's designed to be ridden in one direction. You can ride it switch, but RIDE is upfront that it won't be as good switch all day.

Tapered Bi-Radial Sidecut

A twin sidecut that gives you the underfoot width of a wide board in the tip and tail width of a standard size. The result is improved leverage on landings, grip through turns, and stability on a flat base.

Carbon Slimewalls

RIDE's urethane Slimewalls absorb impacts instead of defending against them and are some of the most durable sidewalls in snowboarding. Carbon runs from the back inserts out to the contact points in the tail, moving the pop to the outside edge for better stability and response.

Carbon Array 5 + Double Impact Plates + Carbon Infused Glass

Carbon Array 5 channels rider input from any stance width to the opposite contact point for total board control. Double Impact Plates under each binding add compressive strength where boards tend to break, and 90° carbon fibres stitched into the glass add pop and response without extra stiffness.

Performance Light Core + Sintered 4000 Base

Lightweight Paulownia stringers combined with high-strength Aspen for a light, lively feel. The Sintered 4000 base is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded, and it's stone ground flat. Built with plant-based Bio Resin and 30% recycled steel edges.
