Burton Vapor - 2013

Hopefully the Vapor will always be in the Burton range because for the past five years it’s bought a nervous smile to the face of everybody that’s been fortunate enough to strap it onto their feet. This board is lightweight, responsive, powerful and stable; so if you’re looking for a board to slay the pipe and straightline 50 degree faces this could be the board for you. It’s not cheap but then again most boards don’t come close to performing at the same level when subjected to the same physical forces. If you’re a keen backcountry tourer then the lightweight construction will make a world of difference when ascending mountains.

Manufacturer's Description:

“Razor sharp response meets space-age design in the lightest, snappiest camber on offer.”
Minimalist in nature, an absence of overkill emphasizes that this board is a precisely tuned ride. More aggressive than the Mystery, softer and lighter than the Custom X™—the Vapor owns the sweet spot at the high end between relaxed and hair-trigger. For shreds who pour over specs and count ounces, it’s been scrutinized from sidewalls to topsheet to create a board so refined it brings the best out of anyone who steps on it.
