Inspired by the Warpig’s aggressive attitude, Ride’s Psycho Candy Snowboard takes the Warpig ideology and packs it into a modern, all-mountain frame. In returning with the same tapered directional shape as seasons past, the Psycho Candy continues to be a top contender for all-mountain riders seeking power and precision without compromise. The wider nose that emerges from this strategic shape matches with a stiff flex and a narrow tail to create the ultimate freeride trifecta. Powerful from the rear end, precise when on edge, and exceptionally maneuverable in all snow conditions, the Pyscho Candy means some serious business. Carbon Slimewalls extend from the back inserts through to the tail to give the Psycho Candy one final boost of pop—engaging this directional deck from its edges all the way through to its core.

At the heart of the Psycho Candy’s mystique lies its unique shape and wider body. Such a robust deck commands a shorter length, making the Psycho Candy an excellent, volume-shifted ride. Designed to be sized down about 3-6cm from your normal length, the Psycho Candy will retain its purpose and power just so long as its not too long. For riders of all ability levels, a long Psycho Candy will never feel quite right, so be sure to take Ride’s recommendation into account when trying and buying this board. When properly sized to its rider, the Psycho Candy performs with utmost stability, float, and power in all snow conditions. A quiver board for some, a daily-driver for others, the Psycho Candy makes an excellent companion in powder, slush, chop, and early-season corduroy.
