25/26 season review
This review does not directly cover the 26/27 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
The Ride Benchwarmer is an upper-intermediate-and-above park board concentrating advanced technology including an asymmetrical twin design, hybrid camber, Carbon Array 3 and Double Impact Plates. It holds powerful pop and stability in the park while also having the versatility for all-mountain use.
It isn't suited to powder, but it's strongly recommended to riders who want to handle varied terrain on one board with the park at the centre.
A closer look

Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
Hybrid camber
A hybrid camber construction with strong camber through the middle and rocker blended into the nose and tail tips. It provides powerful drive while the tips feel catch-free, making turn initiation easy.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
A park-specific high-performance board with a flex above medium. Carbon Slimewall and Carbon Array 3 keep the middle of the board playably flexible while delivering strong pop and power at the edges and tips.
