The Ride Psychocandy 21/22 is a directional all-mountain snowboard designed for riders who want one board that can handle everything from groomed runs to soft powder laps. It’s built with a men’s-specific shape and sits in Ride’s advanced all-mountain lineup, blending piste carving and off-piste performance.
The Psychocandy’s directional shape—with a slightly longer nose—helps maintain stability at speed and offers extra float in deeper snow. Its rocker profile lifts the contact points off the snow just enough to make turn initiation smoother and reduce edge catches, while the medium flex rating of 5 delivers a balanced feel: responsive underfoot without feeling too stiff when the terrain gets rough.
In snowboard terms, “rocker” refers to the upward curve in the tip and tail, which makes the board more forgiving in turns and easier to keep afloat in powder.

Ride says about the Psychocandy 21/22
The PSYCHOCANDY has additional sizes this year to accommodate all riders. The shape is based on the innovative WARPIG, so the board is designed to be ridden 3 to 6 cms shorter than your standard board and approaches the mountain with the same ideology attitude that the WARPIG is known for. A Tapered Bi-Radial Sidecut maximizes grip and allows the PSYCHOCANDY to maintain speed in all conditions. Carbon Slimewalls® enhance response and stability. The PSYCHOCANDY is a directional all-mountain board designed to ride like a WARPIG so you can tackle any and all terrain the mountain has to offer, be it park, pipe, pow or slush.
