DIRECTIONAL HYBRID ROCKER:
A directional shape with a hybrid profile that has more rocker than camber.

ELLIPTIC PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT:
Developed exclusively for the Commissioner, this sidecut combines a tight elliptic curve 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.

PERFORMANCE™ CORE:
High-strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to achieve the perfect balance between strong and light.

SLIMEWALLS®:
RIDE's exclusive Slimewalls® are forgiving and stretchy, absorbing impact instead of deflecting it. Just like your skate wheels, the urethane in the Slimewalls® provides a smooth interaction with snow, wood or metal surfaces you may ride on. In addition, the Slimewalls® are virtually indestructible, the most durable sidewalls in snowboarding.

IMPACT PLATE LAMINATE:
Attached under each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breakage where it matters most. 

CARBON ARRAY LAMINATE:
This force distribution technology provides total board control in any stance position. Wide carbon stringers in the binding zone collect input from every stance width and pressure angle. The rider's input is then transferred to the opposite contact point for maximum board control. 

TOPLESS CONSTRUCTION:
By transferring graphics directly to the fiberglass, topless construction eliminates the need for a topsheet. This process improves overall durability and reduces weight.

HYBRID-GLASS:
Triaxial on top, biaxial on the bottom; balanced torsional flex and stiffness for better response at speed.

ROLL-IN CONSTRUCTION:
Unique 3D structure built around RIDE's Slimewall® urethane sidewalls. Designed to increase the overall strength of the board, prevent topsheet chipping and reduce weight.

RIDE SNOWBOARD TECHNOLOGY:
Designed by snowboarders for the world's most demanding riders. With over 30 years of experience in building high quality products.
