You’re killing me 😂

Thank you for your review! I just bought a 157cm. I’m coming from a 151 Ride Warpig. I do love the Warpig, but I wanted a board I can push my limits on, go faster, take the steeps on better, etc. I plan on keeping my Warpig as my alternate. Boot size 8.5 around 170-175lbs. Can’t wait to rip it in Mammoth and Breck this coming up winter 😊

Rode one on demo day yesterday in Aus. Last board I rode for the day and it was so fun and my fave all round board! Did everything I asked it to well and handled the tracked out snow so well! Loved it! Def gonna get one!

Wtf it’s a Chinese-made board, but their logo has a “shaka.” Wth!

I own two ravine. 2020 152 cm and 2023 152 cm. The original shape only lasted two years (2018/2019 and 2019/2020). They are very different beast, same concept, different execution. The height of the camber profile on the new ones is much higher ( almost 3/8) compared to the old one (1/8). The curves on the nose contact point is much more smooth on the 2020 making for a smooth turn initiation. I dont like the new 3D nose diamond, the old one use a spoon shape instead, again, making for a smooth ride. The 2021 and up use carbon rod instead of bamboo. Carbon gives more energy, while bamboo feels, again, smooth. 2020 = smooth, predictable, a joy to ride, snazzy. 2023 = agressive, precise, but, a bit lifeless. So, I’m always on the look out to find another 2019 or 2020, thats the ravine I love, not the new ones.

Anyone tried this board who is on the smaller side? I'm 5'8 size 8 shoe. I recently tried a Yes basic uninc and I found it amazing. Moving from my beginner board a solamon sight. I'm considering the Yes board but I'm not a fan of the graphic so I'm curious if this board is similar to the Basic uninc so I could get this as an alternative. All I ever read is tall people with clown feet saying its good haha. Would be good for average persons thoughts on if its suitable? Thanks.

Is that an Evil Twin + in the background? Curious to know your thoughts on it. I bought one but not sure i like the 3bt. Perhaps i just need more time with it.

Thanks! Please never stop!

Great Review! I can totally relate to your point of view!

Hi there, really great reviews! Subscribed after the first review I saw... Is the camber feeling of the Standard Uninc comparable with the Warca's? Rode the Warce in 150 couple of times and found it super forgiving and comfortable. I'm 5,9, 155lbs, 265 mondo boots and prefered stance width 21.5-22". Had no problems to get the Warca on edge for quick and short turns. Would the Standard in 153 be ok for my specs? Or should I look for a board with less width underfoot and a reference stance closer to mine?

Regarding that easy roll edge to edge, I am wondering if he added a couple degrees of bevel to the base of the Egg as well. I believe my old Goldfish had that bevel in the nose. Smooth board switching edge to edge.

I have an issue carving my Backslash and the nose flaps around on groomers and uneven snow. Am I crazy or is just a really good tree/deep day board and thats about it?

What are you using to hold your boards in your truck bed?

Short chop intrigues me as I love the skipjack camber and what you say about the shorts sounds very alike. It just matched me so well. They need to bring it back

Great review 👍 For pow days only, open runs and trees, Tailgunner or Hovercraft 2.0 ? Thanks

Trying to decide between a 152 and 155. Specs, 5’-5”, 165-170 fully geared up. With size 9 boots. Will be spending a substantial amount of time in the trees. Having been riding a dancehaul 147 for the past few seasons, but it get choppy in the chowder. Looking for a little more stability at speed without loosing to much agility in the trees. Thanks for your time

@Drift-Products Great review thanks. I have a 156 K2 Simple Pleasures (I'm 79kg 6'1) and I've been contemplating the 156 or 160 Dart. How would you say the Simple Pleasures differs to the Dart? I also own the 157 Tranny Finder which I like a lot both in powder and on groomers. Thanks.

I've ridden this for a few seasons now and it is hands down my favorite board yet. I had come off of the Rome National, which they discontinued and I'm so glad I went with the Ravine Select. I was looking to purchase the National in a larger size because I loved that board, but since it wasn't in the line-up anymore I went with this. I was worried that it would be less fun in a freestyle way, but I was wrong. I'm an older (53) rider and do my best to "skate" the mountain, and was worried about getting a board that was too directional and that switch riding would not be good. Switch on this is a breeze. Super stable board, tracks nicely on flat & firm, and after I got used to a larger size - 162, based off of the size/weight chart on Rome's site - I'm able to maneuver just fine and be as aggressive as I can be with it. I agree with this review, it's a bomber, and you might want to be mindful of really hard and chopped out conditions as you will get bucked a bit (esp with older knees). Just a bit though. Decent in deeper powder too, but a really nice all-around deck. Did fantastic in spring slush on the last day at Mary Jane. I thought about the new Stale Fish, but I think I'm sticking with this for a while. Comparing this to the new, more nimble and more "twin-ish" Stale Crewzer, it's a Cadillac in terms of turning/carving - which I love. I take the Crewzer out on those sunny groomer days I want to just ollie around and press, but on most all other times I'm on the Ravine Select. Thank you for your great reviews, by the way!!

How does this ride switch? I ride hard amd this board is right up my alley, i do like to ride switch on packed days or groomers aswell, i wpuld just prefer this over the Frontier

which one of these boards would you take to snowcat ride tight trees in BC

How does it rate against the ultra mind expander I have the 158 and it’s a bit small as I’m 220 pounds ? ❤

Hi, excellent review. What bindings do you recomend for this board. I have similar body specs than you. Thanks

Have you been able to compare the Powgoda to the united shapes cadet? Im down to these two. Any thoughts?

If you’ve ridden it, any thoughts on the current version of the Telos Lemurian?

Hey, thanks for the honesta and candid reviews! We fully agree on the Korua TF ha. I remember you said on another video you haven't tested the WNDR Shepherd in deep conditions, but how do you reckon it compares to the Powgoda? Looking for a cool small-brand surfy pow specialist!

Can you do a review on the YES OPTIMISTIC

I’m very tempted to get the storm chaser 24 as it’s on sale, how would it hold up on long snake tracks back to the lift? Or should I just get the camber version 25?

Dope channel. How’s the Yes Great Uninc in the back ride? Would you recommend the Standard or PYL over the Great?

Bought the dart after watching this clip. Let’s hope I can slay the japow later this year !!!

What would be the difference between the ThunderStorm, Cruiser, Beyond Medals, and Cruiser Plus? I’m an intermediate/advanced free rider. Thanks!

Hey man - love your videos... I just managed to pick one of the 2024 models up in a 157 for an ABOSOLUTE bargain... The problem is, I'm 220lbs... what would be your take on me being that much over the boards recommendation? I do have other boards for other uses (Yes Standard Uninc, Yes Hybrid, Weston Japow, Solomon HPS Wolle Nyvelt Fish), but just want to know from someone with experience on this board their opinion.

Been enjoying your videos and I’m looking to make my first purchase on the Cardiff boards, wondering if the powgoda pro is going to be a overall better version or more of like a niche version that serves certain needs

I have the prototype of this, really like it a lot for first runs on a powder day it rips , real surfy the taper really lets the tail sink and you can just pedal it effortlessly, I put it away when tnings start tracking out though it definitely gets rowdy trying to power through tracked out terrain

Were you able to tackle any of the Ride boards? Deep fake, Shadowban, Bezerker, Commissioner?

I am not an expert rider, but this review is spot on. As this is my second board I wish this review came out sooner but I was pleased with it. I noticed some lack of performance I'm icy conditions. Other than that I love this board.

I just picked one up. 6’1”, 200lbs, size 11.5 boots. I’m right in the middle of the recommended specs. Can’t wait to ride it in Japan! I like hearing casual & cruisy, that’s how I ride. I’m mostly a wave rider so this will be fun

LOVE THAT BOARD!!!! Took it to japan and in 50cms of pow it totally delivered!!! Littles heads up on the set back, the latter is pretty limited. But did not really need it!

Hey I need help on deciding what size I should get the disaster. I’m 175cm at 60kg with a boot size 42,5 EU. I was leaning towards a 148 or 151 but when I look at the size chart it says my boots won’t fit on it (max 41 EU) and that I should get a 154 which will throw me off the minimum weight recommendation again. I want to use this board for buttering and improving in the park so I don’t want to have to fear that it won’t flex enough.

i would love to see a video about your current favorite boards

Am trying to decide between this and the Souly Grail. My weight at 190lbs, 6ft, size 9 uk boots...Amplid put me on the 162 in terms of weight, would i be better off on the 158 for boot size as i still make that weight range, just near the top of it!! Cheers

"I got the wrong size boards and didn't like them"

Hey Brigham. So you're saying the Special Effects 152 was not enough board for you? or the 420 was not long enough? Thanks!

How is the torsional forgiveness between the bindings?

I'm 6'2 220lb and size 11 boots. Should i get the 163w or 166w? I ride a 163w berzerker.

Hey, Brigham! Luvin your reviews as well! So nice to have yet another take alongside Beastie / Angry / SB Robot / and Board Archive to name a few... Keep it up! I was floored to read in the comments (of the Elevated Egg review) that on haven't been on any of Ride's boards recently / I'm sure you've been told a thousand times 🤓 that I think you'd really dig the War (and Super) pig / and the Mtn for that matter... But, I'd luv to see you jam-on / and review the Shadowban... Hands-down, my favorite deck of the 23/24 season. Such a dialed all-mtn / freeride machine🏂🤸👍 lol --- Ha, regardless, just throwing my two-cents in to get you on a few of Ride's machines... (Cough cough --- Shadow-cough-ban!) ---- Easily Angry's favorite review (and board) of the year... he was gitty about that deck... And, haa, obviously, so am I 👍 The on-snow (overall) feel of that deck is simply primo!👌Ha, regardless, just a shout-out to keep up the stellar work... It's mucho appreciated across this vast community of ours! RIDE-ON, muchacho! --- that's all it's truly ever about 🌨👊🏂⛄

I already have a 157 Jones Storm Chaser (2025 model with a a bit of backseat camber). I'm worried about the 157 Storm Chaser in Japan's low angle stuff. I've been looking to add something that has great float, nimble in trees, but better for low angle POW. I picked up with 164 dart thinking it could be the option for me, but i'm worried about the slow base and nimbleness in trees. SO - is that worry justified? What do you think about the Jones Flagship 165W or the Cardiff Powgoda to fill this gap? Something else? This board could also be my freeride, steeper/deeper board. I'm 6'1 @ 235 lbs, size 13 boots.

Why would you get push back, most all these reviewers are selling boards, how is someone supposed to like or love every board they try. There are preferences for everyone. But if you're trying 50 boards a season, 1 will be the best for certain conditions and one will be worst to you. Just be honest, and anyone who tells you your supposed to like something, is an idiot. I'm 180 lbs and ride smaller boards all the time. Keep em comin.

I have a Service Dog at 157 and really like it for deep days. I am 5 foot 10 205 lb. I think it's a great tree powder board with good groomer carving capability as well. It is flexible. Have you tried it?

Awesome review Brigham. I want one. Probably dreaming here in NZ. I was wondering what bindings you were running? Thanks Chris.

I’ve got a ‘23 153 and I’ve been between 165-180lbs. I’d say it’s a versatile pow board that’ll hold up to some more technical freeriding. It is stiffer than I had anticipated and it hasn’t really broke-in/down either. I’ve had the Ride C-9 and Jones Mercury on it, but have now settled on the Rome Cleaver (Stale edition)… which, shouldn’t be surprising, are the perfect match. The tube in the nose really loads up in tight transitions. I need to work on my nollies and maybe try a Tame Dog someday.
