Burton Ripcord vs Nitro Prime Raw

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Burton Ripcord uses a directional shape while the Nitro Prime Raw is directional twin. The Burton Ripcord has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), while the Nitro Prime Raw uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Nitro Prime Raw is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
