Featured Snowboard of the Week... Love!

























Love
™ loves snowboarding, loves getting way extreme in the park, loves to ollie stuff, and is wicked good at it thanks to her snappy glass and Park Fly II™ core. Love loves smooth sliding through kinks and loves rocking super-wide cowboy stances.

Featured Tech
The Channel
The Channel is snowboarding’s most direct connection—focusing power through a central connection spine that evenly distributes energy for added rebound and snap. It works with both Burton’s 3D® and EST™ bindings, and lets you mount bindings to board any way you see fit. Easily dial in your stance width and angles with next-level micro-adjustability.

Core
Dualzone EGD
The wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges, perpendicular to the rest of the wood core, for superior edge hold and added strength.

Park Fly Cores
Beefier between the bindings and lighter at the tip and tails, these cores are soft where you want it, burly where you need it, and super light all around.

Glass
Dual Density Triax Response Fiberglass
Dual-density fibers from tip to tail strengthen high-impact zones without adding weight or changing the overall forgiving flex of our park boards.

Base
Sintered Base
Ultra-durable and highly porous, our sintered base’s superior wax absorption results in greater overall glide.

Shape
Eliptical Kicks
An elliptical tip and tail shape promotes pop while providing added float and clearance when riding pow and variable conditions.

Pro-Tip
Another Burton first. Tapering the thickness of the tip and tail dramatically reduces swing weight and creates a more playful flex in the tip and tail.

Twin
The shape is perfectly symmetrical for a balanced ride that’s equally versatile when ridden regular or switch. Jib, spin, stomp, and butter with a greater balance of freestyle mobility and cat-like stability.

Tuning

Infinite Ride
This exclusive pop and power-enhancing technology allows us to maximize pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks the board in for you. The result is a consistent feel from the first day forward, season after season.

Sidewalls
10:45 Sidewalls
Extra-meaty 10:45 Sidewalls use two different angles to absorb the impacts that aggressive riders dish out.

Edge Technology
Rail Ready Edge Tune
This less-catchy tune lets you slide without hang-ups and still get plenty of grip for hitting kickers.

Flex
Twin
The flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for a balanced ride that’s equally versatile when ridden regular or switch.

Feel
4

To help simplify things, Burton assigned a single "feel" rating to each of their boards. This number is based on a variety of factors including the board’s materials, shape, tip-to-tail flex, and torsion (aka edge-to-edge rigidity). This number is based on a scale from one to ten with one being softer and more relaxed and ten being most responsive. Keep in mind that a higher number doesn't mean the board is more difficult to ride. It simply helps you compare boards within our line to determine which is best for your riding style.
