2027 RIDE Warpig Snowboard

The 2027 RIDE Warpig is one of the most recognisable snowboard shapes of the last decade and a true pioneer of the modern volume-shifted category. If you know the song, you already know the energy: loud and unapologetic. Built to be ridden shorter and wider than a traditional snowboard, the Warpig delivers a stable platform that turns quickly, floats well and inspires confidence across a huge range of conditions. It has developed a cult following over the years because it simply works. Riders with bigger boots appreciate the extra width, while everyone else enjoys the nimble feel and easy control that comes from the shorter overall length.

The tapered directional shape and zero camber profile give the Warpig a smooth, predictable ride that prioritises stability and maneuverability over aggression. With a mostly flat platform underfoot and plenty of rocker through the nose, the board feels forgiving and confidence inspiring while still maintaining the ability to lay trench on groomers when the mood strikes. That same shape also gives the board excellent float in softer snow, making soft snow the place where the Warpig really shines. RIDE backs the shape up with a durable construction that includes carbon reinforcement, impact plates and urethane sidewalls to keep the board feeling damp underfoot and hard to hurt. It may not specialise in one single discipline, but the Warpig’s strength has always been its ability to handle everything the mountain throws at it.
