Product Details

Rocker Type

PurePop Camber – An advocate of powerful turns and poppy precision, camber speaks to the core values of board design. Offering a snappy suspension, camber distributes weight evenly over the entire length of the board for smooth, continuous edge control from tip to tail.

Flex

Twin Flex – Having a twin flex indicates that your board is perfectly symmetrical in flexibility from tip to tail so you gain a more balanced and predictable ride.

Shape

Twin – Perfectly symmetrical for a balanced ride that’s equally versatile when ridden regular or switch. Jib, spin, stomp, and butter with a greater balance of freestyle mobility and cat-like stability no matter which way you point it.

Scoop – An exaggerated tip and tail, scooping turns up the edges for a looser, more forgiving feel that adds catch free fun when riding everything from a knee-high box to neck-deep pow.

Pro-Tip™ – A tapered tip and tail thickness reduces swing weight for easier mobility.

Core

FSC™ Certified Super Fly II 700G Core – Stronger and lighter woods target specific areas of the core to provide pop, strength, and reduced weight.

Dualzone™ EGD™ – The wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the wood core for consistent edge-hold and added strength.

Laminates

Triax™ Fiberglass – Versatile flex and response for everything from mini to mega shred.

Base

Sintered Base – Durable and highly porous, get added durability and superior wax absorption for greater overall glide.

Edges

Off-Axis Frostbite Edges – Introduced by Burton long before all the hype about wavy “serrated knife” edges. Frostbite extends out slightly beneath your bindings for tremendous edge-hold on hard, icy conditions. Powerful when you need them, playful when you don’t. Frostbite Edges are hungry for hard-pack while remaining smooth, flowing, and forgiving.

Additional Features

Super Sap® Epoxy – A resin formulated with bio-based materials that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional all-petroleum-based epoxies. Less oil consumption means even less of a carbon footprint per board.

Infinite Ride™ – This Burton-exclusive technology allows maximized pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. Whether you choose to ride Flat Top, Flying V™, or Camber, rest assured that with Infinite Ride™ your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.

Binding Compatibility

The Channel™ Mounting System – Stronger, faster, easier, and more adjustable — The Channel™ gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings (not just Burton’s).
