Expert reviews 1
The Ride Lowride 2017 is an all-mountain freestyle board for beginners through intermediates, providing easy, fun riding with a very soft flex and a flat-plus-rocker hybrid profile. A true twin design and a tri-radial sidecut make it usable in varied situations, and sizes from 90 to 130cm let young riders enjoy it too.
Base shape (camber)
Hybrid rocker
A hybrid rocker profile with a flat stability zone between the feet and slight rocker rise at the nose and tail tips. Its character sits in the middle — not as aggressive as camber, not as surfy as pure rocker.
StiffnessHigher means stiffer
Rated 1 on a 1–10 scale — one of the softest boards on the market. It's designed so lighter riders can bend the board easily and turn using the sidecut radius.
Where it shines
Who it suits
A board designed so beginners through intermediates can handle it easily, with a very soft flex and rockered nose and tail that reduce edge catch. Designed for lighter riders, it lacks responsiveness for advanced riders.
Good
- ✓The true twin shape makes riding in both directions feel identical
- ✓The tri-radial sidecut (three radii) handles both small and large turns
- ✓The combination of a flat stable section and rockered nose/tail prevents edge catch on hard snow
- ✓A core mixing hardshell foam, poplar wood and biax glass provides a smooth, consistent ride feel
Not so good
- —The flex is too soft for advanced riders or high-speed carving
- —A centred stance means manually shifting the stance back for powder riding, which is inconvenient
