FEATURES
The unisex Moderator is your new quiver killer. Truly one board for everything. A medium (some might even say moderate) flex with a Tapered Directional Extra Camber profile, this board is built for smooth turns and pop while having just enough rise in the nose to float on those deeper days. No need to swap out decks or change your stance depending on conditions. The Moderator should be ridden in a standard length, no downsize needed. The Tapered Linear Quadratic Sidecut is designed for smooth turn initiation and powerful grip without washing out. The Moderator features our Slim Wall construction, where a urethane layer runs along the edge of the board to increase flex and damping to create a board that is at home anywhere on the mountain. This is a premium all-mountain board and features RIDE's Performance Light Core, Carbon Array 3, Sintered Stone Ground Base, and bio-resin. The Moderator will take you anywhere you want to go.

TECHNOLOGY
PROFILE:
Directional Extra Camber
Directional positive camber dominant shape with rocker just in the nose.
SHAPE:
Linear Quadratic Sidecut
A directional sidecut utilizing Quadratic curvature from the tip to the rear insert pack, then progressing into a linear section into the tail. This creates smooth catch-free turn initiation and powerful support through the turn exit without losing grip.
CONSTRUCTION:
Linear Carbon
Two stringers of carbon running tip to tail add more snap for bigger ollie power.
Impact Plates
Urethane weaves added underneath each binding area to improve compressive strength and prevent board breaks where it matters most. Offered in two levels, Single and Double.
Carbon Array 3
Widespread carbon stringers, placed at the binding zone, cross over each other and taper to the contact points on the tip and tail This power distribution technology provides total board control, quicker turn initiation, and tortional rigidity. Offered in two levels, CARBON ARRAY 3 & CARBON ARRAY 5.
PERFORMANCE LIGHT CORE:
Specially formulated for the women’s line, this core combines lightweight Paulownia wood stringers with high strength Aspen. Available on every women’s board.
HYBRID GLASS:
Triaxial on top, biaxial on base; balanced torsional flex and stiffness for better response with speed.
SLIM WALLS:
Forgiving and ductile, absorbing impacts rather than defending against them. Just like your skate wheels, the urethane in Slimewalls® smoothes the interaction with the snow, wood or metal surfaces you may ride on. These babies are virtually indestructible, the most durable sidewalls in snowboarding.
BASE:
Sintered 4000
High-end sintered 4000 Ptex base material that is more durable, harder and faster than extruded.
Stone Ground Base
The absolute best way to finish building a snowboard. Nice and flat base, no weird bumps or extra material. Stone ground is the way to go, ask your local tune shop.
BIO RESIN:
Our plant based Bio Resin is one of the biggest impacts for sustainability. By using a Bio based resin instead of a traditional epoxy to assemble boards, we’re able to drastically reduce our carbon emissions while using less toxic chemicals. Win-win for everyone.
