Ride Psychocandy 2026

The 2026 Ride Psychocandy is a unisex, all mountain board that is inspired by the Warpig. The long, floaty nose gives the Psychocandy plenty of float in powder, while Tapered Bi-Radial sidecut gives you plenty of grip for fast turns, even in icy conditions. For an all-mountain board that has the spirit of the surfy Warpig, check out the Psychocandy!

Make sure to size down 3-6cm from your normal size!

• Board Type: Freeride - Powder
• Freeride snowboards are built for steeper, off-piste terrain. These boards are ideal for aggressive riding and usually for more advanced riders.
• All Mountain snowboards are versatile boards that excel across various terrains, from groomed runs to off-piste. These boards offer solid edge control and responsiveness, making them a great option for riders who want one board to do just about everything.
• Flex: Medium - Stiff- Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding.
• Stiff snowboards are precise, responsive, and built for advanced riders tackling high speeds, steep terrain, or icy conditions. They deliver powerful turns, excellent edge hold, and enhanced stability, especially during aggressive riding.
• Ability Level: Intermediate- Intermediate snowboards offer more responsiveness and stability at higher speeds, with a slightly stiffer flex for better control on varied terrain and more advanced manoeuvres.
• Shape: Tapered Directional- A tapered directional snowboard features a shape where the tail is narrower than the nose, providing enhanced control and stability in deeper snow. This design improves floatation in powder and allows for smoother turns, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry riding. While it excels in one direction, the taper helps the board naturally guide you through challenging conditions.
• Camber Type: Directional Zero Camber- A directional shape featuring a flat zone underfoot with extended rocker in the nose and tail.
• Width: Standard- Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes.
• Sidecut: Tapered Bi-Radial Sidecut- A sidecut that offers the underfoot width of a wide board while maintaining the tip and tail width. This design enhances leverage on landings, improves grip through turns, and provides stability on a flat base.
• Inserts: 2x4 Inserts- These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. They're common on modern boards and ideal for riders who want fine-tuned positioning and can be used with any binding with a standard or mini disk.
• Topsheet: Topless Topsheet- Topless Construction eliminates the need for a topsheet by transferring graphics directly to the fiberglass. This process enhances durability, reduces weight, and minimises raw material usage.
• Laminate: Carbon Infused Glass, Carbon Array 5, Double Impact Plates- 90° carbon fibers woven into the glass provide added pop and response without increasing stiffness.
• This power distribution technology ensures complete board control at every stance position. Five carbon stringers, strategically placed in the binding zone, collect input from any stance width and pressure angles. Rider input is efficiently directed to the opposite contact point for optimal board control.
• Two layer urethane weaves placed beneath each binding area enhance compressive strength, preventing board breaks where it’s needed most.
• Core: Performance Light Core- A blend of high-strength Aspen, Bamboo, and lightweight Paulownia wood creates the ideal balance of strength and lightness.
• Sidewall: Carbon Slimewalls, Roll-In Construction- This one-of-a-kind sidewall blends layers of carbon and Slimewall material, strategically placed from the inserts to the contact points. This exclusive technology boosts the board's pop, stability, and responsiveness, all while maintaining a smooth and damp ride.
• A distinctive 3D structure surrounds our urethane Slimewall sidewalls, designed to enhance overall board strength, prevent topsheet chipping, and reduce weight.
• Base: Sintered, Stone Ground Base- This base is created by heating and compressing small polyethylene particles, forming a porous structure that absorbs wax efficiently. As a result, the board glides smoothly and quickly on snow. Sintered bases are known for their toughness, durability, and speed. Ride uses a premium 4000 PTEX material for its sintered bases.
• Edges: Standard Steel Edge- A strong, standard metal edge material.
• Thin Con - All Ride boards are designed with Thin Construction, featuring tapered tips and tails. This design reduces swing weight, improves tip flex, and boosts overall durability.
• Bio Resin - A plant-based epoxy used to bond the layers of snowboards, crafted from renewable resources like vegetable oils instead of petrochemicals. This eco-friendly resin helps create snowboards with a reduced carbon footprint.
