Is this snowboard right for you?

Get fast, free advice from an expert

The Burton Ripcord is a great option for snowboarders on the rise who are still looking to progress their skillset. The Ripcord's tip and tail kick up with an early rise outside the feet for a catch-free confidence inducing feel. An increased pop in the tail and a more resilient nose allows for riders to easily maintain control through all terrain and conditions.

Key Features:

  • Easy Bevel Edges – The design gives riders an incredibly soft and forgiving board that’s difficult to catch an edge on.
  • Fly 900G Core – The simplest of Burton’s cores, the Fly is made up of two wood species that lighten the core, but still give it strength, pop and flex.
  • Extruded Base – This base requires little maintenance and provides a speedy feel without the need for waxing.

Is the 'Fly 900G Core' the reason for the board's lightweight yet robust feel?

Yes, the "Fly 900G Core" in the Burton Ripcord Snowboard is indeed one of the reasons for the board's lightweight yet robust feel. The Fly 900G Core is a specially engineered wood core that utilizes a blend of different wood species and advanced construction techniques. The Fly 900G Core is designed to be lightweight, providing a nimble and agile riding experience. The use of specific wood species and the strategic placement of materials help reduce the overall weight of the board without sacrificing durability or performance. Despite its lightweight nature, the Fly 900G Core remains robust and resilient. It offers excellent strength and stability, allowing the board to handle various terrain and conditions with confidence. The core's construction and materials provide a balance between lightweight responsiveness and durability, ensuring a long-lasting and enjoyable riding experience.

With the 'Easy Bevel Edges', will I experience fewer catches when carving?

Yes, with the "Easy Bevel Edges" feature on the Burton Ripcord Snowboard, you can expect to experience fewer catches when carving. The Easy Bevel Edges are specifically designed to enhance the board's maneuverability and reduce the likelihood of catching an edge while turning. The Easy Bevel Edges feature a slightly lifted and mellowed edge profile near the tip and tail of the board. This design minimizes the sharpness of the edges in those areas, making it easier to initiate and maintain turns. The lifted and rounded edges provide a more forgiving and smoother ride, reducing the chance of catching an edge during carving. This design feature is particularly beneficial for beginner and intermediate riders who are still developing their carving skills. It helps instill confidence and stability while carving, allowing for smoother and more controlled turns.

Does the 'Extruded Base' maintain speed even without frequent waxing?

Yes, the "Extruded Base" found in the Burton Ripcord Snowboard helps maintain speed even without frequent waxing. An extruded base is a type of base material that is more durable and requires less maintenance compared to other base materials like sintered bases. The extruded base has a more solid and less porous structure, which means it absorbs less wax and retains wax longer. This characteristic allows the board to maintain its glide and speed for longer periods between waxing sessions. While regular waxing is still recommended to optimize performance, the extruded base is more forgiving and requires less frequent waxing to maintain a decent level of speed. This can be advantageous for riders who prefer a lower maintenance routine or those who may not have the time or resources to wax their board regularly.

I had many questions, and after a few days we finally got stuff figured out. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful and knowledgeable which is defiantly better then going to facebook marketplace. I tried that, but the information from an expert just helps much more. I would defiantly recommend Ryan to other customers.

I very much enjoyed working with Leo on my ski purchase. I had done some research on my own but had not settled on a particular ski. I came across Curated by accident and did not know I would be connected to a live person - and someone who is quite knowledgeable as well! Leo listened to what I was looking for and put together some recommendations personalized for me. I was able to review these on my own schedule and later discuss my questions with Leo to finalize my selection. I’ll definitely recommend Leo and Curated to friends and will be back for my next pair of skis!

I was super skeptical of this website at first I assumed the suggestions were just from an AI generated bot, but Leo is definitely a real human and a knowledgeable one at that! He knew the area i ski in maine and made suggestions based off my skill level and northeast conditions. Can’t wait to take my new gear out in a few months!

Having some experience snowboarding but never owning my own equipment, I had lots of questions and needed a lot of help. I’m so glad I found curated and Josh! He was able to educate me and guide me through the process…and made sure I got a super deal. He always responded promptly and was patient with my never ending questions. All the gear is perfect, we can’t wait to hit the mountain!

I was skeptical about buying ski gear online, but with Michael's expertise and input it worked out great. No only is Michael super knowledgeable, but he really took the time to understand our requirements and match us with the right gear. Never any pressure, always patient, helpful, and super responsive. I would definitely recommend working with him.

Frankie is A1, top notch and his ratings and reviews speaks for itself. I went to 3 different ski shops in my area and I was sized wrong, told certain brands were high quality when they weren’t, would have been paying to much and just put on a bad path overall. I’m glad I stumbled upon Curated. I threw so many questions at Frankie and he welcomed and answered them all. I needed a new board, boots and bindings and I got a great deal. Got a 2024 Libtech Coldbrew with Now IPO Bindings and 32 boots for less than my local ski shops offered for Never Summer, K2, etc., packages. I can’t wait to get on the mountain! Thanks again Frankie!

I was very nervous about buying my first pair of skis as they can be quite expensive and you want to get them right, however, as soon as I found curated and was paired with Hayden all the nervousness turned into pure excitement. Hayden took the time to explain, answer questions, and pick the perfect curation for me. It made choosing skis a fun process rather than a stressful one. I highly recommend Hayden and I can't wait to hit the slopes with my new skis!

I’ve been looking for some pretty specific skis and Michael was able to help me! As a female sometimes I don’t feel like I’m taken seriously when I’m at a ski shop (I’ve tried many) and mike made it so easy! He answered my questions, was able to price match Evo, and was so approachable! Honestly thankful for people like him in the ski industry. Thank you!!
