Camber Profile
- Directional Camber – Camber beneath both feet delivers powerful edge hold and stability, while rocker in the nose adds float and confidence when riding powder and variable snow.
Flex
- 6–9/10 Flex Rating (Medium-Aggressive) – A responsive freeride flex that remains composed at speed while providing the power and precision needed for technical terrain and deep snow.
- Directional Flex – Increased pop through the tail and a more supportive nose improve stability, drive, and control in challenging conditions.
- Infinite Ride™ – Burton's factory break-in process maintains the board's flex, pop, and ride feel from day one through years of riding.
Shape
- Directional Shape – Built to maximize float, stability, and confidence while maintaining quick handling in technical terrain.
- 6mm Taper – A slightly narrower tail naturally sinks in powder, helping the nose stay afloat while making turns feel smoother and more effortless.
- Tail Wingers – Semi-winged tail shaping increases float and glide in deep snow while maintaining control and drive through powerful turns.
- Extended Sidecut – Longer sidecut radius maintains predictable edge hold and stability when carving steep terrain at higher speeds.
- Pro-Tip™ – Tapered tip and tail thickness reduce swing weight for quicker maneuverability and a lighter overall feel.
Core
- Super Fly II™ 700G Core – Lightweight dual-species wood core strategically blends stronger and lighter woods for excellent pop, durability, and reduced overall weight.
- Dualzone™ EGD™ – Engineered wood grain runs along the toe and heel edges to improve edge hold, response, and overall board strength.
Laminates
- Triax™ Fiberglass – Responsive triaxial fiberglass construction delivers balanced torsional flex, dependable edge control, and confident stability across aggressive terrain.
Base
- Sintered WFO Base – Burton's Wide F!#@ing Open base uses a high-density sintered material infused with specially formulated wax for exceptional durability and long-lasting speed.
Additional Features
