The Honcho is a twin shaped, cambered profiled snowboard with a soft directional flex aimed at intermediates who will enjoy the benefits of a sintered base, low spin weight profiled tips and Burton’s lightweight Superfly core, but don’t need all the added gimmicks found in Burton’s more expensive rides.

Manufacturer's Description:

Power carves and massive methods are about to become an everyday occurrence with the NEW Honcho. Built for those with bigger feet, it combines the predictable handling of camber with a wider waist width to all but eliminate toe drag for good. Fast enough to push your skills, soft enough to ease your fears, its extra stable yet playful design gives you the total package, at a price that’s hard to beat.

Hi Guys, I’m about to buy the honcho board, but Im just not sure if its right for me. I expect a board to be universal - I love speeding down the slope but I also cant help but have fun and feel it. I mean doing butter, all sort of jumping and switching sides - thats also matters for me. I like to feel comfortable and in control. I dont want to be limited but rigidness or heaviness of a board. Would honcho be just the right choice? Thanks & cheers!
