BURTON SNOWBOARD PROFILES
A board's profile—the shape from the tip to the tail—significantly determines its properties: dynamics, forgiving nature, buoyancy in deeper snow, and playful or precise handling during dynamic riding. That's why Burton offers boards in a variety of profiles, providing a wide range of options:
Flat Top
The board's flat profile along the longest section, all the way to the binding attachment lines, is complemented by a gently rising rocker in the nose and tail areas. This profile provides a very high level of stability underfoot and a feeling of security provided by the nose and tail areas, which prevent the edges from digging into the ground.
Pure Pop Camber
Small, flat sections outside the binding attachment line enhance the pop-up and add a sharp edge to the board, perfectly complementing the dynamic and responsive qualities of the camber profile between the bindings. The earlier lift of the nose and tail allows for easier maneuvering, increases buoyancy in deeper snow, and prevents edges from digging into the snow.
Camber
The advantages of this type of board profile include impressive dynamics, effective energy return – i.e., a powerful pop-up, the ability to precisely guide the board, and impact dampening, guaranteeing full edge control, from nose to tail, in all conditions.
FlyingV™
This hybrid profile combines rocker flexes – positioned between and outside the binding lines, which increase the board's float in deeper snow and its overall playfulness – with camber profiles positioned under the bindings, which gently lift the board, providing better edge control, more energy and dynamics.
Directional Flat Top
A flat profile on the longest, rear section of the board and a floating rocker in the nose area - this combination ensures even stability and effortless, high buoyancy in deep snow, the benefits of which will be appreciated during all-day powder riding.
Directional Camber
A hybrid construction that combines a camber profile located along the longest section of the board with a rocker profile that lifts the tip. This combination provides significant float in deep snow (thanks to the rocker) and excellent control, stability, and energy during deep turns in a variety of snow conditions, achieved by the camber profile being located further back, but still in the area between the bindings.
Directional FlyingV (Directional Flying V)
A long rocker zone at the front lifts this part of the board during riding, ensuring uniform buoyancy. Meanwhile, the camber profile, positioned firmly at the rear of the board, near the rear binding attachment point, maintains high levels of dynamics and stability.
