jeff33 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hello What do you think about this board for carving ? Hardboot or Softboot ? What is the best ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I have a 168 and I had a 176. The 176 just seemed too long to hockey around under my weak skills. Frankly I'm a crappy soft boot rider but I think they would be pretty soft for hard boots.... (I'm 240 lb mind you) But, the couple days I rode it this year at panorama and Schweitzer it was a mixture of powder, chopped and, def not carving conditions, it was s HOOT!!! Fit and finish Is typical Kessler quality. Super nice. Glad I own one and prob wouldn't sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmatic Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Kessler " The Ride " is a freeride shape, comming from a Snowboardcross shape. It's not that good for carving. There are boards which let You carve way easier and much more extreme than Kessler The-Ride would ever be able. Even on a cheaper price AND from some brands Custom made to Your demand! If you like to go slopes straigt as possible down on speed, Kessler The Ride would be ok. Good running silence, good handling. Don't buy it, if You are looking for excellent carving quality.

jeff33 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 On the website Kessler, there is a video with the Ride. Very good for carving ! Perhaps this bord is not good for extrem carving but good for carving !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecshredder Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have a 163 and I use soft boots on mine. I love it for carving even if it is a little soft, and with my low angles I can only carve moderate pitches unless conditions are perfect.
