Ride Compact Snowboard 2025-2026

Description

The Compact is built for all-mountain performance. The standard camber profile provides camber underfoot for snap and response with a long, rockered nose for float and turn initiation. Quadratic Sidecut improves turn initiation, exit and edge grip as well. Slimewalls® offer up a smoother ride and increase durability by absorbing impact. Roll-In sidewall construction increases board strength and reduces board weight. The Compact is a soft-flexing directional all-mountain board that allows riders of all ability levels to have fun on the mountain.

Technology
Standard Camber Profile:
A little bit of rise, medium amount of traditional 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.
Quadratic Sidecut:
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.
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.
Roll-In Construction:
Unique 3D structure built around their urethane Slimewall® sidewalls. Designed to increase overall board strength, prevent topsheet chipping, and reduce weight.
Single 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.
Biaxial Glass Fiberglass:
90° and 0° angles, fun and forgiving.
Extruded 1500 Base:
The industry standard extruded 1500 Ptex base material. Good wax absorption and easy to repair.
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 Light Core:
Specially formulated for the women’s line, this core combines lightweight Paulownia wood stringers with high strength Aspen.
Standard Top Sheet Edges:
Durable Urethane topsheet material with graphics only RIDE can bring you.
Wend® Meadowfoam Biodegradable Wax:
The Meadowfoam® factory wax they 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 They’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.
44% Solar Production Energy:
44% and rising! They’re working with their factories to utilize solar energy when producing RIDE products. They’re currently at using 44% sustainable solar energy, with plans in the works to grow that number in the coming years.
