Smooth Control. Freeride Freedom. Built to Progress.
The Ride Moderator is your invitation to push the limits without being pushed around. Designed as a more forgiving sibling to the Ride Deep Fake, this unisex freeride machine blends approachability with precision. A softer flex, directional shape, and carbon-infused core give you the tools to charge harder, carve cleaner, and ride longer — without punishing your legs. Whether you're just breaking into freeride or want a more playful deck for big terrain, the Moderator is ready to make moves.
Board Type: All-Mountain / Freeride
Perfect for riders who want to explore every inch of the mountain, from powder stashes to wind-blown ridgelines. Directional shape and confident edge hold let you lead the charge through all conditions.
Flex: Medium Response
A balanced flex delivers enough support for carving and stability at speed, while staying forgiving and accessible for learning freeride flow. Responsive, but never overpowering.
Ability Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Ideal for riders progressing into steeper terrain or wanting a board that’s versatile, capable, and not too stiff. Ride it aggressively, or keep it cruisy — the Moderator adapts to your style.
Shape: Directional
Ride with purpose. A longer nose, set-back stance, and directional flex pattern improve float in powder and control at speed.
Sidecut: Tapered Linear Quadratic Sidecut
Blending multiple radii for smooth entry, strong grip through the turn, and a stable exit. Custom-tailored for each model’s shape and riding style to ensure intuitive carving performance.
Camber Profile: Directional Extra Camber
Positive camber throughout most of the board with just a touch of rocker in the nose.
-
Powerful energy return and pop
-
Rock-solid edge hold
-
Added float and smoother turn initiation thanks to the early rise in the front
