Burton: Air Snowboard

Borrowing the best from the bestselling Custom snowboard (that being the freestyle shape) this season's Burton Air offers added performance for riders on a budget. In addition to new dimensions, this new Air features Burton's Pressure Distribution Edges beneath the binding areas that extend out a half-millimeter more than the rest of the board for better grip on slick and unyielding ice or hardpack. While the Pressure Distribution Edges add grip, the modification doesn't mess with the intuitive, user-friendly feel. This is a great freestyle design for intermediates who already like to carve, but want to spend a little more of their learning curve among the challenges in the pipe and park.
