45° Thin Con Sidewall - Tapering the core and designing a deeper edge angle makes the Thin Con more assertive and honed to Rider input. Tapered tips and tails lower swing weight for greater aerial control, and the 45° angle makes certain the edge will grip into the snow, keeping turns consistent in the hardest of conditions.

Progression Core - With a one-hundred-percent tip-to-tail, rail-to-rail wood core for a predictable feel, forgiveness and proven strength and durability, this core is designed to instill confidence by way of a natural lively flex, making the progression from slide and glide to railing carver an easier, faster evolution.

Biaxial Fiberglass Top and Bottom - Lightweight, dependable and forgiving because there are two strands stitched at opposing 0° and 90° angles.

Now with 20% more butter, the Kink is all about retro-progressive freestyle Riding. It's soft and flexy, never hooky, is a true Twin, and has a super crisp feel. With a durable Progression Core and 22" stances on the 52 and 56 for the wide-stance crowd, every Ride Pro from Regis to Demolski has one in their quiver.

True Color Sintered - Ride's True Color Sintered Base is harder, more durable, and faster on snow due to a lower coefficient of friction. Also, the pores in sintered bases hold onto wax better than extruded bases so there's more time between tune-ups.
