The Kink is a street machine. Designed with a focus on predictability and durability for urban and park riding, the KINK is at home on handrails and jibs. The Kink is the board of choice for Jed Anderson and many team riders riding in the street or cruising the rail line on-hill. The Extra Camber profile has camber underfoot for pop and smooth turn initiation with a minimal amount of rocker at the tip for predictable catch-free performance. A Quadratic Sidecut provides predictability and edge hold. Slim Walls and Cleave Edge™ provide a smoother ride and even stronger durability than ever before. The sintered base is harder and more durable. The Kink is a board designed for modern freestyle and street performance.

SIDEWALLS
Slimewalls® – RIDE’s exclusive Slimewalls® are 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. On top of all that, these babies are virtually indestructible, the most durable sidewalls in snowboarding.
BASE
Extruded, Stone Ground Base – The industry standard extruded 1500 Ptex base material. Durable and easy to repair.
