Burton Men’s Ripcord Snowboard 2023 BURTON

Blast past the learning curve with the easiest, most progression-friendly board we make.

The men’s Burton Ripcord Snowboard is designed to accelerate beginners and intermediates into more advanced riding situations. A directional shape makes easy work of any terrain or snow condition, while the added stability and catch-free feel of Flat Top with Easy Bevel puts you in the pilot’s seat. A softer, more playful flex make this an easier-going alternative to other twins, with a performance-oriented ride that gives you more room to grow than you’ll get with most entry level boards. The upgrade to The Channel® gives you the easiest stance setup and adjustments possible with compatibility that works with bindings from all major brands (not just Burton’s).

Profile: Flat
Terrain: Park/Resort
Response: Soft

Features:

• 5mm Taper: Makes for easy turning, providing the feel and focus of a directional board without anything holding you back from riding it like a twin
• Fly 900G Core is a classic tip-to-tail wood core that utilizes the best of two wood species to lighten the load without sacrificing flex, pop, or strength
• Biax Fiberglass

Profile: Flat Top

Stability, balance and edge control.

A completely flat base allows for complete stability, making it the ideal board profile to learn to snowboard on. When the rider’s weight is on the board the nose and tail are kicked up for a catch free and loose riding experience.

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.

Flex: 3 (Scale 1 – 10)

Forgiving, easy to learn and progress on.


Base: Extruded

Tough and durable extruded HDPE base.
