Boston – The Burton Air Snowboard is one of the original Burton boards and is in its 20th year of production. This board is one of the original fun FreeStyle boards created by Burton. The 2007-2008 Burton Air has an upgraded shape mirrored after the popular twin tip Burton Custom, and improved edges using the Pressure Distribution technology to give you that ultra tight grip on the mountain.
The Air is created with a core that is broken down into three parts; the Negative Core Profile, Super Fly® Core, and Dualzone EDG™. The Negative Core Profile provides a softer feel between the bindings for more FreeStyle flex and torsion. The Super Fly Core makes the board light, poppy, and responsive. The finishing touch is the Dualzone EDG™ which positions the wood grain along the toe and heel edges perpendicular to the rest of the board for a superior edge hold.
The Burton Air also feature a top of Triax Response Fiberglass top for flex and response, and a Sintered Vision Base for increased speed and easy maintenance.
