Ride is one of the historic snowboard companies, founded in the United States in 1992 in Redmond WA. The Ride collection of women's boards is very vast and particular. Each board has been designed and developed specifically for women. Ride has always developed different technologies compared to other brands in the sector. One of the things that most distinguishes Ride from any other snowboard company is the use of urethane on the sidewalls of the boards which are normally constructed from ABS. Ride called this technology Slimewalls®. The big difference compared to ABS is that urethane absorbs vibrations better, is lighter and above all transmits energy more efficiently. Slimewalls® technology is found on every Ride board. Another peculiarity of the Ride boards are the Carbon Arrays: carbon strips that are inserted between the core and the topsheet of the boards. Ride is one of the companies that places these carbon strips exactly in the area under the bindings in order to transfer every input you give to the board to give you more control. The quantity of Carbon Array inserted varies according to the technical level of the board, more strips equal more reactivity. In the range of Ride boards you can find different types of profiles such as: Camber, Extra Camber, Zero Camber. However, each of these profiles has a proportional rocker in the first contact points of the board in order to still give you some forgiveness and playfulness. Ride builds boards for every snowboarding discipline, from park to backcountry. Each board is developed by combining different materials and different profiles to offer riders the perfect board for their technical needs. Twin Tip, Directional, Directional Twin, Asymmetrical Twin... in short, Ride has a board for every need. If you are looking for a reliable board, built with the best materials available on the market and technologically advanced, ride is certainly one of them.
