16/17 season review
This review does not directly cover the 25/26 model you are viewing. Specifications and ride feel may vary by season.
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.
A closer look
These descriptions and scores are linked to this review. They may differ from manufacturer specifications.
Board profile
The profile describes the curve of the board when viewed from the side.
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.
How stiff is it?Closer to 10 means stiffer. It does not mean better performance.
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.

Rider levels suggested in the review
New · Intermediate
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.
What the review liked
- ✓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
What the review found lacking
- —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
