Ride Kink Snowboard 2026
Designer: ride snowboards
The Kink is a street machine. Designed with a focus on predictability and durability for urban and park riding, the KINK is at home on handrails and jibs. The Kink is the board of choice for Jed Anderson and many team riders riding in the street or cruising the rail line on-hill. The Extra Camber profile has camber underfoot for pop and smooth turn initiation with a minimal amount of rocker at the tip for predictable catch-free performance. A Quadratic Sidecut provides predictability and edge hold. Slim Walls and Cleave Edge™ provide a smoother ride and even stronger durability than ever before. The Kink is a board designed for modern freestyle and street performance.
