Ride Deep Fake Snowboard Basics
The all-new unisex Deep Fake was designed for stability and quick edge-to-edge control in all snow conditions and terrain. With a directional extra camber profile, this board is built for stability and pop while giving just enough rise in the nose to float on those deeper pow days. The tapered linear quadratic sidecut is designed for smooth turn initiation and powerful grip without washing out. It features the brand-new Metal Slim Wall construction, a section of titanal-metal, layered with urethane running the edge of the board, increasing damping, durability, and responsiveness.

Ride Deep Fake Test Notes
"Honestly, I love how it looks, stoked on the shape, not your traditional round nose and tail, but something a little more blunt and a little more directional. The board's super poppy, but you can maneuver it. If you're charging and there's chop, this thing just powers through it so easily. And it holds a really good edge. It's very stable and it boosts confidence because whenever you air you know that the board is going to hold up as soon as you put it down. If you're looking for a board that's gonna boost your confidence and allow you to go fast, charge the mountain and hold an edge, this is the board for you."—Jon Martin
