Ride Kink vs Ride Manic

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Ride Kink uses a twin shape while the Ride Manic is directional. The Ride Kink has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), while the Ride Manic uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Ride Manic is noticeably stiffer at 4/10 versus the Ride Kink's 1/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
