Burton Fortress - 2012

/images/brands/burton/logo/burton_logo.gif

If you want to stay with women specific snowboards, the Burton Fortress is as serious as it gets. Every step has been taken to keep weight down but increase response and power while retaining a manageable feel. The Fortress has a Vaporskin topsheet to keep weight down and boost pop and there’s a specially profiled Dragonfly core which uses varying grain orientations to focus pressure along the Frostbite edges, this is also aided by Lightning Bolts which are Carbon strips that run from under the bindings to the edge. To top it off, Carbon I-Beam reinforcement runs the length of the board for extra return out of carves and ollies and Smooth Ride dampening will keep the board well-mannered under your feet even when the going gets rought.

Manufacturer's Description:

For those who play like the pros, the fast and super-light Fortress is a confident choice in terrain that is big and icy, sketchy and steep or just plain stacked. Podium powerhouse Kelly Clark harnesses every ounce of this board’s explosive pop and silky smooth handling. Smooth Ride™ reduces fatigue for more endurance while all-wheel drive edge tech and mind-reading responsiveness team up to bring out the best in anyone who steps on it.
