Burton Family Tree Leader Board Snowboard 2022

Profile: Directional Camber

Terrain: Resort/Pow

Response: Responsive

All-out big-mountain stability for riding steep lines and holding an edge when mistakes are simply not an option.

The Burton Leader Board puts control and response right beneath your feet. Directional Camber blends with Balanced Freeride Geometry to maintain stability through hair-raising lines, while a reduced sidecut and spooned 3-D contours in the nose nix any catchy contact points.

Features:

Super Fly II 700g Core: Uses stronger and lighter wood to provide pop and strength while reducing overall weight.

Triax Fiberglass: Triax Fiberglass provides versatile flex and response for everything from mini to mega shred.

Dualzone EGD: Engineered wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones perpendicular to the core for more edge-hold, response, and strength.

WFO Base: Infuses specially formulated wax deep into the pores of the extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material, making it ultradurable for riding all season in any condition.

The Channel®: Stronger, faster, easier, and designed to help dial-in the perfect stance for you - The Channel® gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings (not just Burton's).

10mm Taper: A tapered shape means the nose is wider than the tail, promoting smooth turn entry and exit, stability at speed, and enhanced deep snow floatation. 

Profile:

Directional Camber

Camber underfoot with a bit of rocker lift in the nose gives you the ultimate best of both worlds for a pow ready board that holds up in any condition.

This board bend has entry rocker that adds lift to the nose while a camber section under both feet maintains momentum and stability through deep-driving turns and variable conditions. This bend caters to those who like the attributes of traditional camber but want something that will get up to speed and float easier in pow.

Shape:

Directional

A smooth, reliable ride.

Directional shapes generally feature a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail. These shapes thrive in an all-mountain environment, as they possess the ability to ride more smoothly than their twin-tip counterparts and behave more reliably in variable snow conditions, anywhere from choppy snow to deeper powder. More twin-looking directional shapes where the difference between nose and tail appear minimal will perform best as crossover freestyle snowboards for those looking to still access the park, while more exaggerated differences will excel for additional float in deep powder.

Base:
