Ride Commissioner Snowboard

The Commissioner is built for one thing, and that's going fast. So, if you're one of those riders who love to charge everywhere on the mountain at maximum speed, then this powerhouse of a freeride board could be the best thing you've ever strapped into. Built around a directional shape and utilising a combination of powerful setback camber and super-stable extended progressive elliptical sidecut, this board is in its element, laying out turns in both the pow and on piste. No matter how fast you go, the Commissioner never feels like it's too fast or that you're just a passenger. Its unique construction sets the Commissioner apart from other high-end hard-charging boards.

The featherweight paulownia core is reinforced with Ride's powerful Carbon Array 5 to give a powerful and dynamic response. The core s is then wrapped with a combination of anodised Titanal aluminium with carbon fibre inserts. This advanced construction, inspired by high-end race board technology, improves the board's edge hold, turning power, and overall speed while reducing weight.

 Rider Style: 

Advanced riders looking for a powerful freeride-focused board that can charge hard on the piste and in the pow.

 Shape Overview: Directional

The Commissioner's directional tapered shape has been designed to give a stable and floaty ride. Utilising a longer, wider nose with 10mm of taper and 19mm of setback, it easily cuts through chop and crud whilst delivering effortless float in the pow. Running a mid-wide platform, the Commissioner gives a stable feel underfoot with improved powder performance whilst retaining quick edge-to-edge response. The Commissioner features a tapered elliptical sidecut to help the board deliver a stable and predictable carve. This progressive shape gives a dynamic turn entry and exit but a more predictable feel through the middle part of the carve.

Profile: Directional Extra Camber

The Commissioner's Directional Extra Camber profile combines an extended rocker at the nose with a powerful setback camber under the feet. This responsive combination steps up the performance of the Commissioner. The Directional Extra Camber's rocker at the nose delivers excellent lift and float at the front of the board, while the powerful camber under the feet creates a solid and stable ride on edge while upping pop and power through the length.

Construction

When it comes to construction, the Commissioner stands head and shoulders above most other high-performance boards. Taking its lead from high-end race boards, its no holds barred approach to performance underlines its powerhouse status. Heading up this lightweight build is the Paulownia core. This lightweight wood core underpins the Commissioner's construction and creates a featherweight foundation. Structural layers are then formed with a combination of carbon-infused glass and Rides advanced Carbon Array 5. Carbon-infused glass stitches 90° Carbon fibres into the glass to add extra pop and response without adding extra stiffness. These are then further reinforced with the addition of the Carbon Array 5 reinforcing. By placing five-carbon strips running from the carbon-reinforced contact points through the binding zones at both the tip and tail, Ride powers up the contact points, creating a faster and more responsive tip and tail engagement without compromising torsional twist through the centre of the board. To dampen that all-out and give the Commissioner a smoother overall ride, it features Silencer 5 laminates. These specially designed urethane layers purify the response from the Carbon Array™ 5 by filtering out vibration for a super smoothed-out yet snappy feeling. The Commissioner's performance build doesn't just stop there. The racing-inspired Aluminium and Carbon top sheet balances the strength and dampening abilities of anodised Titanal aluminium with woven carbon fibre's stiffness and rebound properties. These two materials have been designed to improve the board's edge hold, turning power, and overall speed while reducing weight. Finally, the Carbon Slimewall sidewalls combine urethane and carbon fibre to increase edge response whilst dampening vibrations and protecting the edges from impacts.

Base: Sintered

The Commissioner's high-performance Stone-Ground 4000 sintered base gives a faster glide across a wide range of snow temperatures and conditions.
