Burton Snowboard Reviews

Last year Tom took the standard cambered Easy Livin’ for a spin. This year our tester Ben Malloy took the all new Flying V version. If the words ‘super flexi’, ‘snappy pop’ and ‘quick and responsive’ tickle your fancy and fit within your demands of a park board then the Easy Livin’ should be on your shopping list.

To have Mikkel Bang behind the development of a board from its conception is big news. Mikkel destroys the slopestyle course and it’s the Love that he chooses to kill it with. Triax glass for control riding out big kicker landings, camber to stomp tail heavy landings and that good ol’ pop you just don’t get from rocker and a negative core profile to help with presses. Then there’s the girls that adorn the topsheet.

Isn’t it ironic, that when you’ve got the money to pay for excess baggage to take all your snowboarding gear on holiday with you, you can afford a snowboard like the Burton Method. There are many boards out there claiming to be the lightest snowboard on the market, pick up a Burton Method and there will be no doubting that the board you are holding is the lightest on the planet. With Burton’s all new Flying-V profile, more bells and whistles than an apache helicopter and strangely named materials like Methodskin laminates and Methlon Sintered base, the Method is defining what is possible when it comes to space age design and lightweight construction.

If the Burton Custom was a war hero, it would be more highly decorated and have served in more campaigns than any other soldier on the planet. In production since 1996 the Custom broke the traditional mold of snowboard design and became the most popular snowboard in history. The latest incarnation of the Custom, the Flying-V upholds the Burton Custom’s reputation of quality all-mountain freestyle performance but makes snowboarding that little bit more exciting. Not that you didn’t expect it, but the Custom Flying-V is awesome.

The Burton T6 always had a reputation as an extremely light, stiff and responsive snowboard. None of the qualities have been lost in the T7, but the T7 is now slightly less hard work than the superseded T6. Don’t go thinking the T7 is a push over, it is still the stiffest board in the Burton line and the healthy dose of camber will keep even the most aggressive riders happy.

Like a military fighter plane, the Burton Vapor is designed for ‘seat of your pants’ speed, instant response and BIG air time. Not for beginners or intermediates, the Vapor is a snowboard designed specifically for aggressive pilots with lightening quick reactions and an addiction to icy pipe walls and freshly pisted groomers. Leave your friends in your Vapor trail.

The Custom X has always been a huge seller. Like Magpies being drawn to shinny jettison, many intermediate and sometimes even beginner snowboarders are drawn to Custom X’s additional letter and eye-popping price tag. Don’t be drawn in, the Custom X is a serious bit of snowboarding hardware designed for aggressive expert riders, unless you’re at the top of your game and you’re sure that you like firm flexing cambered snowboards, go for the standard Custom.

There’s certainly one thing we can all agree on; when it comes to Pipe riding Shaun White is the man. In the last ten years he’s grown from annoying red headed micro grom to an HP sponsored snowboarding rock star with an awesome nick name “The Flying Tomato”, actually that’s a terrible nickname. Back to the point of this intro, sure Terje still kills it in the pipe when it comes to style, but if you want board design input from a man who is inventing crazy pipe tricks every season and pushing the limits of sanity further and further, then you need Shaun White on your team. Last year Shaun’s snowboard was the Operator, this year Shaun’s riding the Burton TWC Pro a turbo charged park slicer and dicer. Now buckle up that lid and go bust a Tomahawk SW style.

Does anybody remember hook-ups skateboards? Seeing the new Burton Sweet Talker it was love at first sight. The Manga style graphics are incredible, the base graphic is bold and unforgettable, and then there’s the board spec. The Sweet Talker proudly flaunts a twin shape, Burton’s new Flying V profile and nearly every other technology available from the Burton Snowboards candy store. Any man would be extremely lucky to have this looker on their arm.

Apart from the graphics the only resemblance between the infamous Cheech and Chong and the Road Soda is that the Road Soda is a dope snowboard and Cheech and Chong smoke dope. The Road Soda is pretty much the Burton Process with a vintage graphic. Now dig out that chain link steering wheel and get your van and your homies down to the hill for some serious park shred-time.

From low down hood-rat style to Easyrider, Jeremy Jones has had more image changes than Prince. Regardless of what theme Jeremy’s snowboard costume is this season, the man’s got skills and experience in abundance. If the Old Father Time of freestyle snowboarding Jeremy Jones is riding a board with camber guesses are it’s for good reason. Built for thrashing rails to destruction and sticking monster hits the Burton Jeremy Jones has a lot to live up to, my guesses are it’ll probably smash your expectations. You’ll either love or hate the Star Spangled Banner on the base.

Right, we’ve had the Joystick, this is the lipstick, I’m betting next season the Burton Dipstick will be coming to a shop near you! In spite of the name the Burton Lip-Stick is a seriously loaded and capable snowboard. With the Flying-V profile you can enjoy the benefits of both rocker and camber and Elliptical tips and Jumper Cables should have you popping into orbit. A sturdy freestyle deck for the gadget heads out there. Dare I say, the graphics are a little Capita?

Any snowboard called the Fortress is going to be formidable. The Burton Fortress is Kelly Clark’s snowboard of choice so you can be pretty confident that its cambered profile, Carbon reinforced Vapor skin laminates and Frostbite edges are going to have you climbing up pipe walls like a rat up a drainpipe. The Fortress is a serious snowboard for confident, able and aggressive female snowboarders.

The Sherlock is Burton’s latest all mountain creation. Triaxial glass with carbon I-beams will provide plenty of edge grip and pop, the twin like shape adds versatility for performance in all types of terrain and snow conditions and the Flying-V profile loosens up the ride for lightening quick edge to edge response and a little help with float. It’s anything but elementary my dear Watson.

The Feelgood or women’s Custom as it occasionally know doesn’t have much to prove. With the same DNA as the worlds most famous snowboard, everybody knows the Feelgood deals well with anything a snowboarder, male or female can throw at it. If you have an aggressive riding style, but you’re not ready to commit to one type of terrain the Feelgood is a great choice. The board for snowboarding commit-a-phoebes

From the day it first appeared in Burton catalogues in 2002, the Burton Fish has been a phenomenon. Setting the precedent for tapered powder board performance and retro surf inspired styling, the Fish continues to evolve and raise the bar. For 2011, the Fish retains the powder focused 30mm of taper, the short pin tail with a cheekly swallow tail and the S-rocker profile to keep the tail nice and firm for tail heavy landings and monster pow roosters. The perfect board to add to your quiver for freshies in tight trees and feature heavy terrain, where agility and float are essential.

As if there weren’t enough new models in the Burton line-up, say hello to the Whammy Bar. Taking the place of the legendary Burton Dominant; the Whammy Bar uses a negative core profile and V-rocker profile for flex between the bindings, and spooned construction for more buttery goodness. Then there’s the dual density biaxial glass so you shouldn’t have any problem how ever many kinks you have to push the Whammy Bar through. Check out the Whammy Marley if it’s Bob and the Whalers blasting out of your cans when you’re cruising through the park.

The Supermodel has always shied from the limelight, the same limelight the more famous sibling the Burton Custom has always basked in. People have either forgotten, ignored or just don’t know about the rich history of the Burton Supermodel and the legends that have been involved in its development… we’re talking Brian Iguchi, Johan Oloffson and of course the late and great Craig Kelly; this is design know-how you’ll struggle to find in other Snowboards. A snowboard for epic conditions and balls-out freeriding.

Park, park and more park. The Burton Blender combines a twin shape and flex for easy switch riding, with burley dual angle 10:45 sidewalls and spooned construction to help with triple kinked rails and buttering absolutely everything. Then there’s the Triaxial glass to provide you with all the reinforcement you need to stick less than perfect landings and ride out the most bumpy piste sections.

If your skills aren’t the tightest on the hill the Blunt is a great option. Here’s an oxymoron for you, the Burton Blunt is the perfect snowboard for intermediate riders to take to the park and sharpen their freestyle skills. Soft biaxial glass, the famous Burton V-Rocker profile a negative core profile between the bindings and an easy to maintain extruded base provide all the goods you’ll need to learn.

The Malolo fits the needs of riders who aren’t prepared to commit to the 30mm of taper and swallow tail of the Burton Fish but want deep snow performance. 20mm of taper is the perfect amount for float in deep powder, skipping over afternoon chop and agility edge-to-edge on the groomers and deep stuff.

The Burton Hero has an almost identical spec to its big brother the Joystick, but the small differences are significant. Instead of using a twin shape with a directional flex, the Hero’s flex is twin, perfect for switch takeoffs and landings and the flex has been toned down to a 3/10 by removing the Carbon I-Beams. Could the Hero be your knight in shining armor?

Silly name, great snowboard. The Burton Joystick is the go-to snowboard for a lot of the big hitters in the Burton International team. Designed with the sole intention of slaying the park, the V-rocker keeps the Joystick nice and playful while the Triaxial glass and Carbon I-Beam reinforcement provide all the grip and pop you need.

The Burton Déjà Vu is another Burton Snowboard available with either V-Rocker or traditional camber. We picked-out the V-Rocker because it opens a whole world fun to riders who want grip and control combined with buttery, loose and effortless snowboarding. A Dualzone EGD multi-angle grain core, triaxial glass and Frostgrip edges focus pressure on the length of the edge where you need grip. A V-Rocker profile and negative core profile mean it doesn’t take thunder thighs to pop, butter and press this freestyle masterpiece.

The Ration certainly received a lot of attention at ISPO. It’s about time Burton created a snowboard to service the needs of urban shredders on a budget. One really cool feature of the Ration are the Clip Tips which you can trim down to make your shred stick even more maneuverable and dope looking. The last time I saw sawn-off tips was on a Morrow spoon circa 1994… perhaps you should be pairing the Ration with a set of low-back bindings.

Burton is all about the process, the Burton logo symbolizes the constant improvement of their product, a cycle that’s been ticking away since 1977. The 2011 Burton Process Snowboard sees 33 years of development, feedback and improvement fed into its all-mountain shape and capabilities. If Jussi’s riding the Process then Burton’s product evolution is probably working.

Burton have been creating women specific snowboard longer than any other snowboard brand on the planet, this means the Feather has more than likely been the starting point for more female riders than any other snowboard. For 2011 the Burton Feather gets a makeover including a rocker profile and a slight taper to make it even easier for female riders to get to grips with the snowboarding essentials.

The Clash is designed specifically to help beginners to learn the first steps of snowboarding quickly. If a slight taper and a thin core profile between the feet weren’t progressive enough, the soft biaxial glass and beginner specific rocker mean you’ll get the hang of turning on groomers and in the powder in no time.

Looking for a freestyle twin with some guts? The Burton Easy Livin’ is great for jibbing around the park and pistes…need a bit more torsional stiffness and stability for hitting the pipe and larger booters the Easy Livin’ delivers. A high spec package that snowboarders of all levels will get along with.

We’ve all seen Mr Haakonsen charging at ridiculous speeds into the Artic Challenge quater pipe and then throwing near 10 meter bs 360s. Now we’re not suggesting that if you buy the T6 you’ll acquire the Cat’s abilities… but if you like flying full speed into oversize transitions and bombing critical freeride lines the T6 will take you part of the way.

Probably….. no.. definitely the most famous snowboard on the planet. The Burton Custom has been the number one snowboard pin-up for almost 2 decades. An incredible snowboard, that’ll perform all over the mountain from the pipe to coulours and cornices. For advanced to intermediate snowboarders. Now available with a variety of rocker profiles or traditional camber.

Probably the lightest board on the planet and definitely the most technical. The Burton Vapor is an incredible snowboard that has taken the worlds best riders above and beyond even their expectations. However, the true and almost forgiving flex make the Vapor more accessible than you’d think… providing you’ve got the Gold bullion to pay for it.

Space age freestyle weaponry twinned up for kicker and pipe snowboarders who want a ridiculously responsive and poppy snowboard with the added fun and press-ability of the V-Rocker. For the last few seasons the X8 has been difficult to get hold of out of Japan, this year it’s available worldwide.

Transworld Good Wood in the bag, the Blunt is one seriously desirable vintage snowboard. Spec’ed up with the V-Rocker for tons of fun, reactive biaxial glass and Pressure Distribution edges with a rail ready tune for throwing down on every park jib and rail, you’d be a fool not to snap up this freestyle bargain. All that’s left for you to do is to get down to your local shop and negotiate a good price on this ‘soon to be’ classic.

Beginner women snowboarders need a board that’s forgiving, catch free and easy to turn. The Burton Feather’s biaxial glass, negative core profile and mellow sidecut takes care of the forgiving ride and easy turn initiation, reducing the camber makes the Feather catch free and easy to pop. Great for girls looking to take their first steps on a snowboard. From linking your first carves, to landing your first 180, the Feather will provide you with the goods.
