Burton Fish - 2012
The Burton Fish is the original tapered freeride snowboard and quite possibly still numero uno. Designed by big transition guru turned freeride legend Terje Haakonson and Burton’s head shaper JG at the start of the last decade, the Fish has stood the test of time because it’s such a classic shape and it works so damn well in deep powder where agility, float and acceleration are key. This year the topsheet is metallic gold!
Manufacturer's Description:
The Terje and JG-designed Fish changes the way you ride powder. Built for speed and tapered more than any board in the line, it combines S-Rocker™ with a Swallow Tail to further enhance float, punch, and acceleration. Complete your quiver with the NEW Fishcuit 50. With additional taper and the equivalent surface area of a Fish 56, this pocket rocket increases tight-terrain mobility without sacrificing float or crud-busting stability.
Recommended for freeride riding.
Recommended for big mountain riding.
