The RIDE Kink Snowboard is a street and park freestyle machine built for riders who love hitting rails, pressing boxes, and getting creative on every feature in sight. A favorite of Jed Anderson and the RIDE team, this true twin snowboard features an Extra Camber profile that delivers lively pop, responsive control, and predictable performance for technical tricks and smooth landings. Its mellow flex and forgiving biaxial fiberglass make it easy to manipulate for presses and butters, while the Quadratic Sidecut provides reliable edge hold and smooth turn initiation. RIDE's Slim Walls technology improves vibration damping and energy transfer, while reinforced Double Impact Plates and extra-thick Cleave Edges stand up to the abuse of street riding and repeated rail sessions. A durable Aspen Foundation Core keeps the board feeling lively, and the stone-ground extruded base is easy to maintain and repair. Whether you're stacking clips in the streets or lapping the terrain park, the RIDE Kink is ready to take a beating and keep the good times rolling.
RIDE's Extra Camber profile features a higher camber rise for a snappy, lively, and responsive ride. It delivers the energy and pop needed for ollies, technical tricks, and confident takeoffs while maintaining precise control through turns and landings.
RIDE's Quadratic Sidecut blends three different radii to improve turn initiation, edge grip, and turn exit. This design creates predictable handling when carving into jumps, approaching rails, or navigating hard-packed snow.
Slim Walls take RIDE's sidewall construction to the next level with a fully three-dimensional composite structure built over Slimewall material. This design improves energy transfer, reduces weight, and enhances vibration damping for a smoother, more controlled ride.
Reinforcement plates positioned underneath both binding areas improve compressive strength and help protect the board from damage in high-stress zones. Double Impact Plates are especially valuable for street and park riders who repeatedly land hard tricks and hit technical features.
A tip-to-tail Aspen wood core provides proven durability while maintaining consistent flex and lively pop. The Foundation Core gives the Kink a dependable feel for pressing rails, buttering across features, and taking repeated impacts.
RIDE's Cleave Edges use nearly 50% more steel than conventional edges for increased resistance to cracking and impact damage. The extra material also allows riders to detune their edges to larger radii, making the Kink particularly well suited for rail and street riding.
Biaxial fiberglass is arranged at 0-degree and 90-degree angles to create a smooth, forgiving flex pattern. This construction makes the board easier to manipulate for presses, butters, and creative freestyle tricks without feeling overly stiff.
The durable extruded 1500 P-Tex base offers reliable performance with easy maintenance and repair. Its practical construction is ideal for riders who spend time hitting rails and other abrasive features where base damage is part of the game.
A stone-ground finish creates a smooth, flat base surface by removing excess material and imperfections during manufacturing. The result is a consistent running surface that's ready for regular park laps and everyday riding.
The Kink's symmetrical twin shape features matching nose and tail dimensions, allowing the board to ride naturally in either direction. It's ideal for switch tricks, technical rail combinations, and freestyle riders who want the same feel regardless of which way they're riding.
A mellow flex makes the Kink easy to bend and manipulate for nose presses, tail presses, and buttery freestyle tricks. Combined with the responsive Extra Camber profile, it balances playful handling with the energy needed to pop off features.
Reinforced binding zones, thicker steel edges, and a durable extruded base make the Kink ready for the repeated impacts of freestyle riding. From urban handrails to park boxes, its construction is designed to handle demanding sessions.
A zero-setback stance positions the rider centrally on the board for balanced freestyle performance. This symmetrical setup makes switching between regular and switch riding feel natural while providing consistent control for spins, presses, and landings.
The Kink comes with WEND Meadowfoam factory wax made using wildflower seeds native to California and Oregon. The wax blend is designed to be non-toxic and biodegradable.
RIDE incorporates 30% recycled steel into its snowboard edges, reducing reliance on newly produced steel while maintaining the durability required for freestyle riding.
The Aspen wood core uses FSC-certified mix materials, supporting responsible forest management and more sustainable wood sourcing.
RIDE uses FSC-certified materials for snowboard packaging components, including shipping boxes and base stickers, supporting responsible sourcing of paper-based materials.
RIDE reports that 44% of its production energy comes from solar power as part of its ongoing efforts to increase renewable energy use in manufacturing.
Engineered by snowboarders for demanding riders, RIDE has spent more than 30 years developing snowboard technology focused on durability, performance, and progression. The Kink brings together freestyle-specific construction and proven materials for riders who push their equipment in the park and streets.

Choosing Your Size: Use the rider weight ranges in the chart above as a starting point. Your preferred riding style, boot size, and desired board feel should also influence your selection.
Park & Street Riding: Riders focused on rails, presses, and technical freestyle tricks may prefer a shorter length within their recommended weight range for easier maneuverability.
Wide Option: The 154W features a 261 mm waist width compared with 251–257 mm on the standard sizes. This provides additional room for riders with larger snowboard boots and helps reduce toe and heel overhang.
Flex & Response: The mellow flex offers a forgiving, playful feel, while Extra Camber adds pop and responsiveness for jumps, ollies, and precise freestyle riding.
True Twin Shape: The symmetrical shape and centered stance provide balanced performance in regular and switch directions, making the Kink a strong choice for park progression and street riding.
