Sharpness and precision take the lead on Ride’s fan-favorite Peace Seeker Snowboard. Notable for its ultra-directional shape and swallow tail design, the Peace Seeker makes an excellent powder board and offers the perfect balance between float and turning precision. The stiffer tail that emerges from this dramatic shape offers a lot of power from the rear end—something that can be felt in every turn, at every speed. Such a sense of power in the rear contributes not only to the Peace Seeker’s turning performance but also to its ability to float in deeper snow. Its upturned nose has a lot of height to it, making the Peace Seeker a strikingly surfy performer in powder and chopped up snow. There’s a little camber underfoot, but not much, though this profile never compromises the Peace Seeker’s ability to grip into firmer, icier snow conditions.

Ridden by many and loved by all, the Peace Seeker definitely means business. Though it isn’t necessarily the most aggressive snowboard, it requires a decent amount of energy and experience to get it working to its full potential. As a result, the Peace Seeker is best accompanied by an advanced or expert rider who knows how to drive fast and carve hard in all snow conditions. Due to its dramatic shape and heightened nose, the Peace Seeker is definitely more of a niche board, too. Not a first or only board for anyone, the Peace Seeker makes an excellent addition to an established quiver. Designed to be ridden a few centimeters down from your normal length, this ultra-powerful powder demon makes for a quick, surfy, agile, and maneuverable ride in all snow conditions.
