Rippin' Riders, called Snow Surfers in Europe, and Cool Boarders Burrrn! (クールボーダーズ・バーン) in Japan, is a 1999 snowboarding game by UEP Systems for the Sega Dreamcast.

The game was originally announced in 1998 simply as Cool Boarders, and had a working title in North America as Extreme Boarders.

Rippin' Riders was released as part of the Cool Boarders series, taking elements from the first three PlayStation games (Cool Boarders (1996), Cool Boarders 2 (1997) and Cool Boarders 3 (1998)). With the expcetion of Cool Boarders Pocket for the Neo Geo Pocket Color, all future entries in the series would remain exclusive to the PlayStation and PlayStation 2.
