Specs & what they mean

What the Ripstick 88's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 15.8-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a tubelite woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,510 g it's a genuinely light ski, nimble and easy to move around.

Float & width

At 88 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. An asymmetric rocker profile tunes float and grip differently at tip and tail.
