2027 Burton Family Tree Smooth Operator Camber Snowboard
The 2027 Burton Family Tree Smooth Operator Camber Snowboard is built for riders who want to charge deep snow without sacrificing speed or precision. Designed alongside legendary Japanese rider Masanori Takeuchi, it pairs surf-inspired 3D shaping in the tip and tail with a Directional Camber profile to create a ride that floats effortlessly while maintaining powerful edge hold when conditions get steep or technical. A lightweight Dragonfly™ 600G Core and 45° Carbon Highlights keep the board lively, responsive, and composed at speed, making the Smooth Operator equally at home slashing powder fields, weaving through trees, or laying trenches back to the lift.

Camber Profile
- Directional Camber – Camber under both feet with a rockered nose provides stability, control, and plenty of float in deep snow.
- Balanced Freeride Geometry – Creates a twin freestyle feel when riding flat, while still turning tight and floating like a directional board when on edge.
Flex
- 5–8/10 (Medium–Stiff) – Tuned for freeride performance with stability at speed and power in variable conditions.
- Directional Flex – More resilient nose and a poppier tail keep you charging through mixed terrain with confidence.
Shape
- Directional Shape – Longer nose than tail improves float, flow, and control across all terrain.
- 10mm Taper – Narrows toward the tail for smoother turn entry and extra float in powder.
- 3D Shaping – Surfboard-inspired concave shaping in the tip and tail for a mix of edge control and surfy freedom.
Core
- Dragonfly™ 600G Core with Multizone EGD™ – End-grain woods in impact zones reduce weight without sacrificing strength, while Multizone EGD™ enhances edge hold and durability.
- Squeezebox – Thicker core zones transfer energy for stability and pop, while thinner zones increase playfulness and control.
Laminates
- 45° Carbon Highlights – Reduces weight and fine-tunes torsional feel for an aggressive, responsive ride.
Base
- Sintered WFO Base – Infused with specially formulated wax for a durable, fast base that stays quick in all conditions.
Additional Features
- Infinite Ride™ – Pre-broken in at the factory to ensure the board maintains flex, pop, and feel season after season.
- Super Sap® Epoxy – A bio-based resin that cuts the carbon footprint by 50% compared to petroleum-based alternatives.
- The Channel® – Easy stance adjustment and compatibility with all major bindings.
