Check out our Price Match PolicyThe 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.Answered by:

Ski ExpertWith 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.Answered by:

Ski ExpertDoes 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.Answered by:

Nice board
Originally posted at www.burton.com on Feb 10, 2023Excellent board to ''begin'' with, steady handling. Been doing a little bit of park too, but i think a little stiff for that. (my level of experience had a word to say)

Absolutely love my Ripcord! I
Originally posted at www.burton.com on Feb 10, 2023Absolutely love my Ripcord! I am getting used to the new feel of the board down the mountain, but so far so good and it is light for the weight. While I'm walking around the resort with my board, it gets a lot of looks especially with the Cartel EST bindings

The Best of the Best
5 /5
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kyle and my experience with him on Curated. I’m a pretty hard headed individual and I went into the curation wanting a very specific GNU board. Kyle talked me off that ledge (was far outside my budget) and steered me in the direction of something similar that fit my budget a lot better. I’m stoked about my purchase and am so excited to get out on the slopes!
Kyle was knowledgeable without being arrogant, which is extremely hard to find in the skiing industry. I don’t like to feel pressured into purchasing something without doing my research, and there was no point during our multiple day conversation that he made me feel pressured or rushed. He was patient, kind, and friendly in a way that felt above and beyond for the given task.
If my rave review doesn’t say enough, Kyle seems like a gem of a human. Wishing him and his family all the best!

Super knowledgeable, great experience, tons of options, no pressure… Leo gets it!
5 /5
Skied a fair bit as a kid in the Northeast, then switched to snowboarding when I moved out west 15 years ago, and just getting back into skiing somewhat seriously as my kids are pretty self-sufficient and competent on most runs these days.
We usually rent, but after skiing about 20 days last year, I decided that buying new boots at a minimum was an absolute must. Some days were pure torture… But, I had no idea where to start and was instantly overwhelmed beginning my search on my own.
Enter Leo and Curated. Leo took the time to understand my situation, my skill level, my goals, my preferences, etc. In short order, after I sent back my boot measurements, I received a personalized video with several different options and tons of rationale for my expanded search for skis, bindings, and poles as well. I felt very comfortable that I had a good set of options to choose from for each piece of equipment - with an accompanying wealth of Leo’s deep knowledge and experience to consider as I pondered this large, potential purchase.
I decided to hold off at that point, and Leo made sure I knew he was available to text or chat live as needed - he is super responsive. No pressure at all. I came back to it later the next day, chatted a bit back and forth with Leo, and felt really confident about making the purchase. That’s really saying something given how little I knew about modern ski gear just a night or two earlier.
I highly recommend Leo and will be reaching out to him directly for any future purchases. I won’t hesitate to direct friends and family to him either, and have a hunch my wife will be looking for his help right around the time my new gear hits our doorstep.
Thanks, Leo!

Ryan is very knowledgeable about the tech of snowboards and the areas I frequently snowboard at. He helped me understand the fundamentals about snowboards which helped me in my own independent research. He is super patient and responsive. Additionally, he worked with my budget and snowboarding wants/needs.

I have been wanting to get my own gear since I can remember, having borrowed stuff from my dad and buddies as long as I can remember. However, I waited so long because although I have been boarding for a while, I didn’t know any of the terminology or what brands were good, etc. Kim made this process SO easy, and I am more than confident I will like my gear! 10/10 recommend and if I need to get more stuff I know where I am going

Vincent done did it again! Had a friend refer me and boy was it the best decision ever. Vincent was very knowledgeable and definitely catered to my needs. He didn’t send the most expensive bindings and hoped for the best. I told what I was looking for and delivered. Not one or two options but many options. I definitely recommend him as your expert!

5 /5
I had insomnia that night and found the Curated for the first time. I was curious about contacting an expert who turned out to be Andrew at 4 AM PST. I expected to get an answer a few hours later since it was in the middle of the night. I turned off my computer and went into bed he responded a few minutes later. Hopefully, I didn't wake him up, or maybe he's on EST time but either way, he's on his game.

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.
