Hi all -
I am a beginner/intermediate rider and made (kind of) an impulse buy on the 2017 Ripcord yesterday. Prices was well below MSRP and was digging the graphics so I bought that w/ a pair of discounted Ride bindings. After doing some research, I saw that this is Burton's MOST entry level board on the lineup.
While I don't do any park or pow (yet), does this board match up to the Clash? I understand the Clash is a tad more intermediate but their specs seem identical to me. Did I aim too low with the Ripcord? Or is it pretty much the Clash with a slight difference in design?
I've been reading the blunt and Process are the next level up but I don't think I am at the level for those yet.
Feel free to add or kill my current feeling of buyer's remorse!!!
