Ride Snowboards: Women's Solace Snowboard

Specifically designed with a softer flex that makes turns easier to initiate than unisex snowboards, Ride's all-mountain Solace gives women beginners and recreational riders the right shape, length and consistency for cutting their own turns in the park and on the runs. It features special linear carbon stringers on the inside that add pop without messing up the beginner-friendly predictability. These stringers add more response and keep the ride interesting for recreational snowboarders who already know more than an advanced trick or two. The Solace has Ride's 45-Degree Thin Construction Sidewall that smoothes out some of the bumps aggressive intermediates and new advanced riders encounter along the learning curve. Ride tapered the core and added a deeper 45-degree sidewall to complement aggressive riding styles. Many unisex recreational snowboards opt for 90-degree sidewalls for a stable and forgiving arc-following design. The 45-degree sidewall on the Solace snowboard offers better edge hold than those boards--especially on hardpack--and quickly transitions for edge-to-edge performance. The 45-Degree Thin Construction Sidewall also tapers along the Solace's tip and tail for a lower swing weight that makes it easier to rotate while airborne (for when you start learning tricks). Ride keeps the Solace affordable and predictable with their Foundation Tuned Core, one of several wood cores used by Ride. Foundation Tuned Cores give Ride snowboards a lively flex with plenty of strength and durability to take hard hits. The core is wrapped in biaxial fiberglass laminates along the top and bottom that features stitching at 90-degree angles for lightweight durability. Unlike other snowboard companies that use woven fiberglass, the stitched fiberglass construction on Ride snowboards is flatter and more consistent for durability that surpasses conventional snowboard designs. Along the base you'll find Ride's 1500 grade extruded fusion base, a faster base that's 25% harder than the 1000 grade extruded bases found on recreational snowboards. 1500 Grade Base easily absorbs wax and facilitates repairs and performance tuning. If you're frustrated by snowboards that seem to be in your size but end up being too stiff, Ride's Solace has the easy flex built to fit your riding style on all sides of the mountain.
