Ride Current Snowboard

Blake Paul’s pro model – a powerful all-mountain board for every type of terrain

The Ride Current is a directional all-mountain snowboard developed together with Blake Paul. It combines stability at high speeds, strong pop and reliable edge hold with the smooth float needed in powder. It is a model for intermediate and advanced riders looking for one powerful board for groomers, off-piste terrain and more demanding conditions.

Characteristics

The Current was developed after testing more than 40 prototypes and over a dozen different profile variations. The result is Multi-Cam – a profile designed to combine easy manoeuvrability with the stability and energy of camber. Between the bindings, the board maintains moderate torsional flex, making it easy to control, while the stiffer nose and tail provide additional support at high speeds, on landings and in deeper snow.

Stability on hardpack and float in powder

The directional shape and setback help keep the nose higher in soft snow, while the offset radial sidecut delivers natural and predictable handling that matches the board’s directional geometry. The Current remains stable on hardpack and at higher speeds, while still offering smooth control in softer and more uneven terrain.

Advanced technologies:

• Multi-Cam Profile: a new camber profile developed together with Blake Paul – combining manoeuvrability, easy control, pop and stability.
• Directional Shape: a longer nose, shorter tail and setback improve directional handling and float in powder.
• Radial Sidecut: a smooth sidecut radius provides predictable turn initiation and consistent board control.
• Linear Carbon: linear carbon reinforcement increases responsiveness, stability and energy transfer.
• Slimewalls®: urethane sidewalls absorb vibrations and impacts, improving ride smoothness and construction durability.
• Roll-In Construction: a three-dimensional construction around the Slimewalls® improves durability, reduces topsheet chipping and helps lower weight.
• Single Impact Plates: additional reinforcements under the bindings improve resistance to compression and damage.
• Biaxial Fiberglass: fiberglass arranged at 0° and 90° helps maintain a more natural and predictable board flex.
• Extruded Base 1500 P-Tex: a durable base with good wax absorption that is easy to repair and maintain.
• Stone Ground Finish: factory stone-ground base finishing provides a smooth and even running surface.
• Bio Resin: resin using bio-based raw materials reduces the use of conventional petroleum-based materials.
• 30% Recycled Steel Edges: steel edges containing 30% recycled material.

Hybrid (Multi-Cam) – a profile that delivers energetic pop, stability and strong edge hold while maintaining smooth board control.	Directional – a longer nose, shorter tail and setback stance help maintain stability at high speeds and increase float in powder.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Ride snowboards stand out?

Ride snowboards are designed with durability, precise handling and versatility in mind. The brand uses proprietary technologies such as Slimewalls®, Carbon Array™, Performance™ Core and various camber and rocker profiles to deliver the right riding characteristics for every style of snowboarding.

How do I choose the right Ride snowboard length?

The most important factor is rider weight. The manufacturer provides recommended weight ranges for each board size. Height is a secondary factor and mainly affects individual preferences regarding how the board feels and handles.

When should I choose a Wide version?

Wide versions are designed for riders with larger snowboard boots. With most manufacturers, it is worth considering a Wide board from approximately EU size 44 and above to reduce the risk of toe or heel drag during turns.

Do Ride snowboards require regular maintenance?

Yes. Regular base waxing, along with checking and sharpening the edges, helps maintain high speed, reliable grip and extends the lifespan of the board. Service frequency depends on how intensively the board is used and on snow conditions.

How should I store the board outside the season?

After the season, it is worth cleaning the board thoroughly, protecting the base with a layer of wax and storing it in a dry place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. This will help the board retain its properties for the next season.

Where are Ride snowboards manufactured?

Ride has been working with some of the most renowned snowboard factories in the world for many years. Each board is made using high-quality materials and strict quality control, resulting in durability and consistent riding characteristics.
