Burton Method - 2012

The Method is one hell of an investment if you work it out at a price per Kg basis it’s more expensive than Silver! So what do you get for the Method’s astronomical price tag? Well yep you guessed it, the Method is the lightest snowboard on the market by a considerable margin, it really does defy logic and you could make your money back by replacing the weight with smuggled duty free in no time! The S2 fibreglass which is considerably stronger than standard E-Glass means less can be used to create the same board flex and durability, the catch is S-Glass is 10x the price of E-Glass. It also has the Methlon base which Burton claim is the slipperiest substance known to man, other than Jelly which doesn’t make a great snowboard base. It also has the versatile flying V profile and Frostbite edges for increased grip. One question remains, will the new and yet unrevealed Burton Mystery be lighter and more expensive still?
