Burton Vapor Snowboard
Lightest board ever
By Jan Higa
Ranked #206 - All Mountain Snowboards
October 29, 2009
I purchased one of these in a 159cm last year for $500 on sale. The stance is very centered so it doesn't cut through powder as well as the malolo or fish. If you have long legs it shouldn't be an issue. I would like to see more adustment options if you want to move your stance back toward the rear of the board. It is without a doubt the lightest board I've ever owned. I have a pair of lexa bindings on it. I do like to new binding system but on the longer boards I don't think there is enough adustment for those of us with shorter stances. It carves exceptionally well and has plenty of pop. It is a good all around mountain board but quite expensive. I wouldn't have bought it at full price.

If you want a park board, buy one. This is not a park board so if your dumb enough to land a manual with an aluminum core board, and it snaps, its your own fault. I have a 2006 vapor, and have over 100 days of riding on it, and it has dings, a core shot the size of a silver dollar, but still it true and runs just as good on the groomers. Great on pow, groomers and speedy. I have an X8 for a park board for park days, and this older '06 board for groomer pow days.
