Core

Super Fly® 800G Core with Dualzone™ EGD™

• a dual-species wood core that is loaded with pop and alternates between hard and soft woods to reduce overall weight without limiting performance
• Stronger and lighter woods target specific areas of the core to provide pop, strength, and reduced weight.
• The wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the wood core for consistent edge-hold and added strength.

Lightweight Feel

Laminates

Fiber Glass Biax™

• features a jib-friendly, torsionally soft flex and a forgiving feel that's great for beginning riders or the park

Base

Extruded

• Extruded base provides speed and strength and requires little in the way of maintenance

Additional Features

Pro-Tip™

• Burton boards with “pro-tip” have a tapered tip and tail thickness. This reduces swing weight and therefore improves maneuverability along with overall board feel.
• Whether you choose to ride Flat Top, Flying V™, or Camber, rest assured that with Infinite Ride™ your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.

Super Sap® Epoxy

• A resin formulated with bio-based materials that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional all-petroleum-based epoxies. Less oil consumption means even less of a carbon footprint per board

Factory Tuned

• Board comes waxed and ready for the mountain right from the factory.
