The Ride Smokescreen Snowboard brings big-mountain vibes to everyday riders, blending high-end freeride tech with a more approachable feel and price. Its tapered directional shape draws inspiration from Ride’s most aggressive boards, but with a more forgiving flex that’s ready for side hits, tree runs, and pow stashes alike. Loaded with a camber-dominant profile, carbon reinforcements, and a fast sintered base, the Smokescreen is anything but watered down — it’s your ticket to stepping up and charging harder.
Directional Standard Camber – A directional shape with a hybrid profile that has more camber than rocker.
Medium Response
Tapered Elliptical Progressive Sidecut – Designed exclusively for the Commissioner, this sidecut combines tight elliptical curvature at the tip and tail to provide low-speed initiation and response with a larger radial section between the feet for high-speed stability and tracking.
Performance™ Core – High strength Aspen is combined with Bamboo and lightweight Paulownia wood to provide the perfect balance of strong and light.
Carbon Array 3™ – This power distribution technology provides total board control in every stance location. Widespread carbon stringers placed at the binding zone gather input from any stance width and all pressure angles. Rider input is then channeled to the opposing contact point for maximum board control. Offered in two levels of technology, 3 & 5.
Double Impact Plates – Urethane weaves added underneath each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breaks where it matters most. Offered in two levels, Single and Double.
Hybrid Glass – Triaxial on top, biaxial on base; balanced torsional flex and stiffness for better response with speed.
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 the urethane Slimewall® sidewalls. Designed to increase overall board strength, prevent topsheet chipping, and reduce weight.
Sintered, Stone Ground Base – High-end sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.
