Every year new boards come out for every manufacturer’s line. And every year people struggle to figure out which board is best for them. There are so many boards to choose from that it can be nearly impossible to narrow it down. It’s not a hard call to decide to stick to one manufacturer. Burton, the largest manufacturer of snowboards in the world, has just about everything in its lineup you could possibly want. But even if you have already narrowed your choice down to Burton, you still have a huge array of boards to pick from. So here are some top picks to help make that decision a bit easier.
Top Park Board – Jeremy
You don’t name a board after Jeremy Jones if you don’t expect it to be good. And this board is very good. It isn’t the top of the line park board from Burton, but it is very close. This board is so exceptional because of its versatility. You can hit powder kickers or venture into the deep stuff in the trees after a big storm and still shred the park slush as the season winds down. It’s got a bit more flex than the typical park board, but don’t let that put you off. This is a seriously good board.
Top Powder Board – Malolo
It may have a weird name, but there’s nothing weird about the way this board performs in powder. With a deep side cut and two inch setback, this board will float through any powder you can find. But it walks away with a recommendation because it can perform well on groomers for those days between fresh snows.
Top Freestyle Board – Custom
How could it be anything else? Sure, the Vapor is light years ahead of most boards in the technology department, but the Custom has so much value for the money that it simply can’t be denied. It’s a legendary board which has been ridden by knuckle-draggers all over the world. It’s one of those boards with which you simply cannot go wrong.
Top Budget Board – Twin
Not everyone has a grand to drop on a board. But that doesn’t mean you should buy a budget board that is going to fall apart in a season. The Burton Twin offers all the park shredding ability of a much more expensive board, but it also lets to hit other parts of the mountain with ease. If your board quiver is limited to just one, make it a Twin.
Top Overall Board – Fish LTD
Not everyone is going to straight-line chutes in Alaska or drop from a helicopter onto the side of an untouched mountain. But we all want to. And only one board can handle it. The Fish LTD is not just an amazing board from Burton; it could be the best board you will ever find for mountain riding. It’s a technological marvel which can truly bridge that short gap between a fun experience and a spiritual one.
