Nidecker Play vs Ride Kink

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain and freestyle riding. The Nidecker Play uses a directional twin shape while the Ride Kink is twin. The Nidecker Play has a flat_rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Ride Kink uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Nidecker Play is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
