Burton Snowboard Roundup
boots, clothes, and accessories. Burton has become a household name for snowboarders making quality snowboards. Professional riders who use their boards include Olympic medalist Shaun White, Jeremy Jones, and Ellery Hollingsworth. Burton makes boards for men, women, and children. Before you glide down those powdered slopes, let's take a look at some of their bestselling snowboards.
Types of Snowboards
Men's Snowboards
Remember to choose the proper length and width of your board. Light riders should purchase shorter boards and heavy riders should choose
long boards. Short boards are also better for those who ride primarily in the park. Intermediate and advanced riders prefer medium length boards for a varied terrain.
Women's Snowboards
Women should always make sure they choose a board designed specifically for women. A woman's foot size, center of gravity, and body mass distribution differ greatly from a man. Burton takes all these factors into consideration when creating their snowboards.
Children's Boards
Children's boards have a much softer flex and are lighter to help them learn the basics of snowboarding.
Snowboard Bindings
Before you can carve up that slope, determine the pair of bindings that will lock into your board. Make sure you choose the right type of bindings to match up with your board and your style of riding. Although there are three types of snowboard bindings, Burton only sells
strap bindings. Strap bindings are actually the most popular bindings because they are adjustable, secure, and comfortable. What you do need to look for though is the shape of the plate and the highback plate. Alpine riders will need a taller and stiffer highback for better control. Freestylers however, will want a shorter backplate for flexibility when doing tricks.
