Burton Snowboard

Frequently Asked Questions

• What sets Burton snowboards apart from other brands?

  Burton, founded in 1977, combines decades of snowboard-specific innovation with a broad lineup spanning all-mountain, park, and powder shapes. Signature technologies like The Channel, Super Fly II™ 700G Core with Dualzone™ EGD™, Pro-Tip™, Infinite Ride™, Super Sap® Epoxy, Frostbite edges, and a Sintered WFO base work together to balance durability, edge control, and tailored ride personality.
• What is The Channel mounting system and why does it matter?

  The Channel is Burton’s two‑slot mounting system that replaces the traditional six‑screw pattern, allowing fast, precise adjustments to stance width, angle, centering, and setback. That extra stance tunability improves rider balance and board control across varied terrain without adding hardware complexity.
• What makes the Burton Custom series a go‑to all‑mountain board?

  The Burton Custom, a flagship model since 1996, is a versatile directional‑twin designed for intermediate to advanced riders who want one board for varied mountain conditions. Typical Custom builds use Super Fly II™ 700G Core with Dualzone™ EGD™ for pop and edge durability, Custom Camber for stability and precision, Pro‑Tip™ to reduce swing weight, and a Sintered WFO base for lasting speed.
• How does Burton use materials and construction to improve performance and longevity?

  Burton pairs engineered cores (like Super Fly II™ 700G) and edge reinforcements (Dualzone™ EGD™) with performance bases (Sintered WFO) and Frostbite edges to enhance stability, edge hold, and wear resistance. The brand also moved toward more sustainable chemistries such as Super Sap® Epoxy and emphasizes durable designs to extend product life and reduce waste.
• How do I choose the right Burton snowboard for my terrain and riding style?

  Match the board category to your terrain—park boards prioritize twin shapes and softer flex for press and pop, powder boards favor directional shapes with rocker and setback for float, and all‑mountain boards (like the Custom) balance stability and maneuverability for mixed conditions. Also consider flex, shape, and size relative to your height, weight, and ability level to dial in responsiveness and flotation.
