Ride Current Snowboard Review 2027 | What's Good?

Ride Current Snowboard Basics

The RIDE Current is Blake Paul's pro model, built hand in hand with him from the ground up. RIDE worked directly with Blake through 40+ prototypes and 15+ camber profiles to land on the all-new Current, which is a true all-mountain machine. The board's camber profile blends maneuverability, ease of use, pop, and stability into one package, with a core engineered with medium torsional flex between the feet for easy control and on-hill stability, paired with stiffer tip and tail sections so you don't tomahawk over the nose in pow or loop out landing off the tail. A set-back radial sidecut matches the board's setback stance, and RIDE's signature Slimewalls® and linear carbon finish it off as a board that's stable on hardpack, floats in pow, and keeps you upright when conditions try to buck you around.

Ride Current Tech Basics

  • Sizes (cm) 145, 148, 151, 154, 157, 157W, 160, 160W, 163, 163W, 166
  • Shape is directional, meaning more nose than tail, set-back stance with a matching sidecut; rideable switch, not optimized for it
  • Camber Profile falls into the standard camber zone (RIDE's Multi-Cam profile per product copy). Known to be responsive without being overpowering.
  • Flex Rating is aggressive response; medium torsional flex underfoot, stiffer tip/tail for stability in pow and on landings.
  • Core Performance™ Light — Paulownia wood stringers with high-strength Aspen
  • Laminates Biaxial fiberglass (90°/0°) for a fun, forgiving feel; Single Impact Plates under each binding area for compressive strength
  • Base Sintered 4000 Ptex, stone-ground finish — durable, hard, fast
  • Sidewall Slimewalls® with Roll-In Construction — absorbs impact, resists chipping, cuts weight
  • Binding Compatibility Not specified on RIDE's product page — worth confirming directly
  • Terrain & Ability Level All-Mountain / Powder; Intermediate–Advanced–Expert

Who Is the RIDE Current Best Suited For?

The Current is built for riders who want one board that does it all the way Blake Paul does. It's stable enough to charge hardpack, floaty enough to disappear into a powder day, and locked-in when conditions get chattery or inconsistent. It's aimed at intermediate-to-expert all-mountain riders who want a directional quiver killer with real pop and stability rather than a specialist tool for one type of terrain.
