Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
Both target all mountain terrain, while the Ride Current leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. Both feature camber profiles — arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise. The Ride Current is noticeably stiffer at 7/10 versus the Ride Compact's 3/10, suiting more aggressive riding. The Ride Compact targets intermediate riders while the Ride Current is aimed at expert riders.
