Split, Glide, and Tour the Day Away

From blasting and dodging through tight terrain and mixed conditions to making floaty slashes in the pow, it inspires confidence no matter where you drop it.

Sustainability
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
Fiberglass
45 Degree Carbon Highlights
- Carbon Highlights Fiberglass build optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine-tune torsional feel
Base
Sintered WFO
- Sintered WFO Base infuses specially formulated wax deep into the pores of the extra-absorbent, high-density recycled sintered material, making it ultradurable for riding all season in any condition
Additional Features
Balanced Freeride Geometry
- Balanced Freeride Geometry ends the debate with setback camber and a sidecut that is centered on your stance to create a twin freestyle feel when riding flat base.
- On edge it turns tight and quick with the float and prowess expected from a directional deck.
Pro-Tip
- A tapered tip and tail thickness reduces swing weight for easier mobility.
Infinite Ride
- This Burton-exclusive technology allows maximized pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you.
- 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.
Factory Tuned
- Board comes waxed and ready for the mountain right from the factory.
