PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (Freeride, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Superpig — riders who already like the short, wide pig outline and want camber underneath it.. Disaster — park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Superpig | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 8🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 3 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 6 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 3 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 7🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 6🏆 | 2 |
Riders who already like the short, wide Pig outline and want camber underneath it. It fits the Intermediate-to-Advanced band Ride publishes for this board, and suits riders who want energy returned between turns instead of a neutral platform. It also suits riders who will actually follow the published instruction and drop 6 to 10 cm from their usual length, and who want soft-snow float to come from surface area rather than from length.
Riders who spend meaningful time switch: Ride's own directional description says you can still ride it switch, but probably not as well all day, and the outline runs 10 mm wider at the nose than the tail on every size. Riders who want a forgiving, neutral platform should take the Warpig instead - same outline, Zero Camber, a Medium response level, and $50 less. Riders who will size it by habit are the other bad fit; Ride spells out a 6 to 10 cm size-down for this board, and ignoring it puts you on the wrong length. Riders whose weight falls outside the published band for the length they want should change length rather than push through it. Anyone who needs a published flex number or board weight before committing will not get one here, because Ride publishes neither for this board in either generation.
Park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Riders progressing into park for the first time. Street-style riders. Anyone who wants a dedicated soft-flex park tool.
All-mountain riders who need one board for everything. Speed seekers. Powder riders. Advanced riders who need pop for big kickers — the Disaster is built for small-to-medium features, not boosting 40-footers.
Superpig is best for riders who already like the short, wide pig outline and want camber underneath it. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Ride Superpig has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 7/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Ride Superpig leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 8/10.
Bataleon Disaster has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
