2027 Ride Current Snowboard
The all-new 2027 Ride Current is Blake Paul's pro model, developed through more than 40 prototypes and 15 different camber profiles to create a powerful all-mountain board that stays fluid across changing terrain. Its new Multi Camber profile blends maneuverability and ease of control with the pop and stability of camber, while the directional tapered shape and Tapered Radial Sidecut provide smooth, predictable turns and dependable float in powder. The Performance™ Light Core is tuned with medium torsional flex between the feet and supported by Linear Carbon 10, Carbon Array™ 5, and Carbon Slimewalls® for increased snap, stability, and response when the speed picks up. From hardpack and natural terrain to powder and landings, the Current is built to handle the entire mountain without breaking rhythm.
Who is this board best for?
Intermediate to expert riders looking for a responsive directional all-mountain board that combines stability, maneuverability, and powder performance.
What is new for 2027?

Camber Profile
- Multi Camber: A blend of traditional and reverse camber with rocker between the inserts, camber under the inserts, and rocker at the tip and tail, combining maneuverability and ease of use with pop and stability.
Flex
- Aggressive Response: A responsive flex designed to provide stability and support for faster, more aggressive all-mountain riding.
Shape
- Directional: More nose than tail, a setback stance, and a directional sidecut create a ride designed primarily for forward-facing all-mountain and powder performance.
- Tapered Shape: A wider nose than tail helps provide float and smooth performance through deeper snow and varied terrain.
Sidecut
- Tapered Radial Sidecut: A single-radius sidecut with a wider nose than tail. The sidecut is set back on the board so its center matches the board's setback for smooth, connected turns.
Core
- Performance™ Light Core: Lightweight Paulownia wood stringers combine with high-strength Aspen for lightweight performance and response.
Laminates
- Linear Carbon 10: Ten strips of carbon run from tip to tail below the core to increase snap and ollie power.
- Carbon Array™ 5: Widespread carbon stringers around the binding zones gather rider input from different stance widths and pressure angles and channel that energy toward the opposing contact point for increased board control.
- Hybrid Glass: Triaxial fiberglass above the core and biaxial fiberglass below balance torsional flex and stiffness for improved response at speed.
- Single Impact Plates: Reinforcement beneath each binding area increases compressive strength and helps prevent board breaks in high-stress areas.
Sidewalls
- Slimewalls®: Urethane sidewalls absorb impacts and help smooth the board's interaction with snow and other surfaces.
- Carbon Slimewalls®: Carbon is strategically integrated with Slimewalls® material from the rear inserts toward the tail contact points to increase stability and response.
- Roll-In Construction: A unique 3D structure built around the urethane Slimewall® sidewalls increases overall board strength, helps prevent topsheet chipping, and reduces weight.
Base
- Sintered 4000 Base: High-end sintered 4000 P-Tex provides a harder, faster, and more durable running surface than an extruded base.
- Stone Ground: A stone-ground finish creates a flat, clean running surface.
Additional Features
- Standard Topsheet: Durable urethane topsheet material.
- Biobased Resin: Plant-based resin reduces reliance on traditional epoxy and helps reduce carbon emissions during production.
- Wend® Meadowfoam Biodegradable Wax: Factory-applied wax made from Meadowfoam® wildflower seeds is non-toxic and biodegradable.
- 30% Recycled Steel Edges: Snowboard edges contain 30% recycled steel.
- FSC® Certified Paper Packaging: Paper packaging uses FSC® Certified materials.
- 44% Solar Production Energy: RIDE states that 44% of the energy used in production comes from solar energy.
Binding Compatibility
- 2x4 Inserts: Standard 2x4 insert pattern for broad snowboard binding compatibility.
