2027 Burton Family Tree Fish 3D Splitboard
The 2027 Burton Family Tree Fish 3D Splitboard takes Burton's powder-focused Fish shape into the backcountry with a short, wide, directional design built to float through deep snow. Directional Flat Top combines a stable flat platform with rocker in the nose for smooth control and easy float, while surf-inspired 3D shaping in the tip and tail helps the board move naturally through soft snow. A full 30mm of taper allows the tail to sink and the nose to rise, giving the Fish its quick, surfy turning character. With a lightweight Super Fly II™ 700G Splitboard Core, carbon-reinforced construction, and Burton's Split Channel mounting system, it's a specialized split for riders who head into the backcountry with powder turns at the top of the priority list.

Tech
Camber Profile
- Directional Flat Top: A mostly flat profile with rocker in the nose combines a stable, predictable platform with effortless float in deep snow and smooth maneuverability through surfy terrain.
Flex
- 3–6/10 (Medium): A versatile flex range that balances support and control with enough give for smooth, maneuverable riding in backcountry terrain.
- Directional Flex: Increased pop in the tail combines with a more resilient nose to help maintain control across changing terrain and snow conditions.
Shape
- Directional Shape: A short, wide, powder-focused shape designed to prioritize float and forward-riding performance.
- 3D Shaping: Surfboard-inspired convex shaping in the tip and tail combines with a traditional base through the middle for dependable edge control and a catch-free, surfy feel.
- 30mm Taper: The significantly narrower tail helps it sink naturally in deep snow while allowing the wider nose to rise, creating easy float and surfy turn initiation.
- Surfy Float: The combination of a short, wide platform, directional shaping, and 30mm taper provides plenty of float while keeping the board quick and maneuverable in powder.
Core
- Super Fly II™ 700G Splitboard Core: Uses stronger, lighter wood to provide pop and strength while reducing overall board weight.
Laminates
- 45° Carbon Highlights: Optimizes the fiberglass matrix with a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine-tune torsional response. The 45° fiber orientation provides a more responsive, aggressive ride characteristic.
Base
- Sintered WFO Base: High-density sintered material infused with a specially formulated wax deep into its pores for a fast, durable base designed to maintain glide across a wide range of conditions.
Skin Attachment
- Secure Skin Attachment: A skin-ready tail design provides a seamless connection with compatible Burton splitboard skins.
Additional Features
- Infinite Ride™: Burton overbuilds the board before mechanically breaking it in, helping stabilize the flex, pop, and overall ride feel so it remains consistent season after season.
- Super Sap® Epoxy: Bio-based resin formulated to reduce the carbon footprint by 50% compared with conventional all-petroleum-based epoxies.
Binding Compatibility
- Split Channel: Burton's adjustable splitboard mounting system provides extensive stance adjustment and makes it easy to fine-tune binding position.
- Pre-Mounted Pucks: Burton Split Channel splitboards include pucks pre-mounted for easier initial binding setup.
Warranty
- 3 Years: Backed by Burton's three-year manufacturer warranty.
