Flex: Medium

Shape: Tapered Directional

Camber: Directional Camber - Directional Camber puts rocker in the nose of the board, adding extra float in powder while retaining the response and stability of traditional camber which offers unmatched power, response, and edge control.

Laminate: 45 ° Carbon Highlights

45° Carbon Highlights is a tip to tail carbon layer reduces weight and contains 45° angled fibres, fine tuning the torsional flex to make a more aggressive ride.

Core: Super Fly II 700G Core with Dualzone EGD and Squeezebox

The Super Fly II 700G Core features stronger and lighter woods targeted in specific areas, which provides more pop and strength while reducing weight.

Dualzone EGD aligns the wood grain in the core along the heel and toe edge in two unbroken zones perpendicular to the rest of the core, which gives consistent edge hold and strength.

Squeezebox consists of thicker, more powerful sections combined with thinner, more flexible sections profiled throughout the core. This enhances energy transfer and makes the board snappier and more stable.

Edge: Frostbite Edges

Edges that extend out slightly underneath your bindings for enhanced edge hold on hardpack and ice.

Base: Sintered WFO

Standing for Wide F!#@ing Open, this base made from an extra absorbent, high density sintered material that is infused with a specially formulated wax, resulting in an ultra durable base that rides Wide F!#@ing Open.

Additional Features:

• Infinite Ride

Burton is able to maximise pop and performance by overbuilding their boards in the factory, and then using machinery to break it down for you. This allows your board to ride the same from day one, to day 100, season after season.

• Pro-Tip

The tip and tail of this board taper out at the points, reducing swing weight and promoting mobility.

• Super Sap Epoxy

Super Sap is a bio-based resin that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional petroleum-based epoxies.
