Ride X Akomplice Womens Psychocandy

We've done some stupid things over the years, but that doesn't mean we can't be better.

Today, all snowboarders should realize that there won't be any snow to chase in the near future if we don't start changing the way we live.

The climate is changing and we can do better.

The snowboard lifestyle is not environmentally friendly. It never has been. We have to use planes, trains and cars to get to the mountains. Chairlifts need energy. Houses need heat. The products we make consume resources, create waste and require transportation. Everything humans do costs the environment. We can never eliminate this, but we can do better. We can create less waste, use fewer resources, make more durable products and work with people on the front lines of this fight to learn and change what we do.

We admire Akomplice and what they've done to build and run a sustainable business, so we've teamed up with them to produce this limited edition Psychocandy. Their graphics help draw attention to the simple fact that we can all be a little better stewards of the earth. Regardless of your political or social stance on climate change, we can all agree that using fewer resources and making better products while still living and experiencing the world is a great step forward.

Features:

- DIRECTIONAL ROCKER - A directional shape built with a true rocker at the tip and tail.

- BI-RADIAL - A twin sidecut provides the underfoot width of a wide board with the tip/tail width of a standard board. This design delivers improved compression on landings, more grip in turns and stability on flat ground.

- WMNS PERFORMANCE™ CORE - Specially developed for our women's line. This core combines lightweight paulownia wood strands with strong aspen wood. Available with every women's board.

- SLIMEWALLS® - RIDE's exclusive Slimewalls® are forgiving and pliable, absorbing impacts rather than pushing against them. Just like your skateboard wheels, the urethane in the Slimewalls® compensates for interaction with snow, wood or metal surfaces you ride on. What's more, these things are virtually indestructible. The most durable sidewalls in the snowboarding world.

ROLL-IN CONSTRUCTION - A unique 3D structure we've built around our Slimewalls® sidewalls. We designed it to increase the overall strength of our boards, prevent topsheet splitting and reduce weight.

- CARBON ARRAY™ - This power-distributing technology offers total board control at every stance position. Wide-spread carbon strands placed in the binding zone concentrate the input of each stance width and pressure point angle. The rider's input is then directed to the opposite contact points for maximum board control.

- IMPACT PLATES - We've added these plates underneath each binding surface to provide additional pressure load and prevent board breakage where it matters most. Available in two levels, single and double.

- STANDARD TOPSHEET - Durable urethane topsheet material with unique graphics only available from RIDE.

- SINTERED - A high-end 4000 Ptex sintered topsheet material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.

- FIBERGLASS - RIDE takes stitched fiberglass to a whole new level and tailors it specifically to the needs of each board. Our unique fiberglass designs are flatter and more durable; therefore, they are stronger because they have no gaps or stretch like woven fiberglass.

- CARBON INFUSED GLASS - 90° carbon fibers are sewn into the fiberglass. Extra pop and response without added stiffness.

- STEEL - RIDE's Austrian-made steel edges extend around the entire board to ensure the best possible protection. STANDARD EDGE - Rockwell 48 C.
