ROME RAVINE PRO SNOWBOARD PRODUCT GUIDE
Overview
The Rome Ravine Pro takes everything riders love about the original Ravine and supercharges it with a premium build, stiffer flex, and higher-end materials for aggressive, powerful freeride performance. This board is built for experienced riders who charge hard, love deep snow, carve fast, and want a directional board that’s responsive, stable, and floaty.
It’s a freeride beast with camber-loaded power, a 3D rockered nose for float, and an ultra-lightweight core that makes it a true top-tier tool for big-mountain and all-mountain domination.

The result? A board that’s stiff, precise, and confidence-inspiring at high speeds or in gnarly terrain.
