2027 RIDE Magic Stick Snowboard

The 2027 RIDE Magic Stick is Ride’s versatile women’s freeride board, built for riders who are past the beginner phase and want something with a bit more backbone underfoot. It sits in that sweet spot where it still feels approachable for a solid intermediate rider, but has enough drive, grip and stability to keep delivering as your riding gets faster, cleaner and more confident. This is the kind of board for someone who wants one directional shape that can handle everyday resort laps, carve properly on groomers, and still feel right at home when there’s softer snow to push into.

The tapered directional shape, extra camber profile and moderate flex give the Magic Stick a ride that feels lively, planted and capable without tipping into full charger territory. There’s enough camber in the board to hold an edge properly and give it a more precise feel through the turn, while the tapered outline helps it release cleanly and stay manoeuvrable when the snow gets deeper or the terrain gets more technical. Add in Ride’s usual mix of carbon, urethane and dampening-focused construction, and you get a board that feels tough, smooth and supportive when the mountain gets rough, but still fun enough to throw around and enjoy.

Key Features

Terrain – All Mountain / Powder
Built to cover everyday resort riding with a directional lean toward freeride performance, giving it the edge hold, stability and float needed for stronger all-mountain riders.

Shape – Tapered Directional
The directional shape gives the Magic Stick a more composed, drivey feel on snow, with better stability and a more natural sense of flow when riding forwards.

Profile – Hybrid Positive
A camber-dominant profile with early rise in the nose, giving the board strong edge hold and energy through turns while helping the front of the board lift more naturally in softer snow.

Flex – Mid
This board lands around a mid flex, giving it enough support and response for progression and freeride control without becoming overly stiff or demanding.

Tech Features

• Directional Extra Camber – A more aggressive camber profile designed to increase edge hold, energy and drive, giving the board a more precise feel through turns and better support at speed.
• Tapered Bi-Radial Sidecut – Combines a wider nose and narrower tail with a tuned sidecut design to improve turn initiation, edge engagement and control while helping the board feel more natural in softer snow.
• Sintered, Stone Ground Base – A fast, durable sintered base finished with a stone grind to keep the board running quick and smooth across changing snow conditions.
• Performance™ Light Core – A lightweight core using Paulownia and Aspen to reduce weight while maintaining strength, snap and all-mountain durability.
• Cleave Edge™ – RIDE’s heavier-duty steel edge construction adds extra resistance to impact damage and cracking for a tougher, longer-lasting board.
• Slimewalls® – Urethane sidewalls absorb vibration and impact to make the board feel damper and more durable, especially in rough resort conditions.
• Linear Carbon – Two carbon strips placed beneath the core to add extra snap, ollie power and overall response.
• Single Impact Plates – Reinforcement under each binding area improves compressive strength and helps protect the board in one of its highest-stress zones.
• Carbon Array 3™ – Carbon stringers at the binding area distribute rider input to the contact points for more efficient edge-to-edge response and stronger board control.
• Hybrid Glass – Triaxial fiberglass on top and biaxial fiberglass underneath balances torsional flex and response, helping the board feel stable without becoming too rigid.
• Roll-In Construction – A 3D shaping process built around the sidewall structure that improves strength, reduces topsheet chipping and helps keep weight down.

About RIDE Snowboards

RIDE Snowboards has been part of modern snowboarding since the early 1990s, building a reputation around boards that feel tough, practical and built to be ridden hard. The brand has always leaned into function-first design, with a strong focus on construction quality, durability and shapes that make sense on snow.

That philosophy still runs through the line today. RIDE boards tend to favour real-world performance over empty marketing language, with consistent use of sidewall tech, carbon reinforcement and dampening materials that make their boards feel solid, stable and long-lasting.

The Magic Stick is a strong example of that approach. It takes RIDE’s durable, tech-heavy construction style and applies it to a directional women’s board that feels capable, versatile and progression-friendly, giving riders a board they can keep pushing further without outgrowing too quickly.
