Best Kid's Snowboards

Our snowboard reviews are designed to help you weigh tradeoffs to find the best fit. We collaborate with riders and gear experts to review each snowboard based on carving (how well the board turns on its edge and slices through the snow without skidding), speed (how easy it is to go fast), and switch (the ability to ride with either foot forward). We update our rankings weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.

Perfect board for:
Riders who want a predictable catch-free performance.

The Ride Kink snowboard is a street-oriented freestyle board built for durability and predictability. Designed with a focus on urban and park riding, the Kink features an extra camber profile for pop and smooth turn initiation, a quadratic sidecut for reliable edge hold, and Slimewalls and Cleave Edge for a smoother ride and durability. Whether you're hitting handrails, jibbing boxes, or exploring the streets, the Kink's performance and reliability make it the ideal choice for modern freestyle riders.

The Kink has had staying power in the park and in streets thanks to it’s soft, responsive camber design and its affordable price tag. It’s a ton of fun on groomers, too. It’s kind of hard to tell if these boards have low durability, or if everyone who owns one is just ripping steel and jumps in the park until the wheels fall off. Whatever the case, the Kink’s newer models have extra edge reinforcement to protect against slams, kinks, and all other gnarlyness.
