Burton Hero - 2012
stats:
In many respects the Burton Hero is pretty similar to its slightly higher spec brother, the Joystick. Like the Joystick, the Hero has Triax glass, Scoop Tech, Jumper Cables, Frostbite edges and the Squeezebox core. Unlike the Joystick the Hero doesn’t have Carbon I-Beam reinforcement, it is completely twin shaped and the flex is twin too. So although they are closely related, the Hero is a little softer flexing and rides switch identically to regular, making it more suitable to park specific snowboarders.
Manufacturer's Description:
This is the game winning field goal, the walk off homer, the original V-Rocker™óin a word, the Hero™ is clutch. Now more stable with no loss of snap thanks to Squeezebox, and built with Jumper Cables for added pop that doesn’t sacrifice playfulness. Scoop shaping only adds to the buttery, catch-free performance. For as forgiving as the Hero feels, it carves like a samurai sword thanks to the added grip of Frostbite Edges. Bottom lineóthis board will save your season.
