The 2024 Burton Family Tree Mystery Hometown Hero brings performance to the table in spades with the famous Burton Mystery construction, giving a snowboard which is extremely lightweight, responsive, and provides one of the most precise rides on the market. By combining both this unique construction and the shape of the Burton Hometown Hero snowboard, you get one of the best boards on the market which is ideal for carving, slaying powder, and being an absolute speed demon all across the mountain.
Skill Level: Expert
Board Type: All Mountain / Powder
Park: 1/10, All Mountain: 7/10, Powder: 9/10
Camber Type: Directional Camber
The original, tried and true camber type, and the advocate of powerful turns and poppy precision. Traditional camber is the most aggressive camber type, offering unmatched power, response, and edge control. Directional Camber puts rocker in the nose of the board, adding extra float in powder while retaining the response and stability of traditional camber.
Flex: 6.5/10 (1 = soft, 10 = stiff)
Twin Flex - This board flexes the same in the nose and tail, allowing you to ride, pop, and press the same in regular and switch.
Shape: Directional
This board has a shape designed specifically for freeriding, featuring a longer and wider nose and a shorter, tapered tail which combine to give you effortless float in powder and better performance riding forwards.
Core:
Dragonfly II 500G - This is Burtons lightest ever core, which integrates carbon laminations inside the core which provides ultimate pop and performance with minimal materials.
Multizone EGD - The wood grain of the core is positioned along the heel and toe edge in four separate zones adjacent to the channel, channeling power from the source directly to the edges for ultimate strength and edge control.
Mystery Glass - Burton are keeping this one confidential, but just be sure this is some feather-light, robotic-built, space age tech that simultaneously improves power and response.
Base: Methlon
Incredibly durable and low-maintenance, the Methlon base is the highest grade sintered base available from Burton, providing flat-out speed that lasts.
Mounting System: The Channel
The Burton Channel system forgoes your traditional 4-screw mounting system and introduces a channel for your front and rear inserts. This allows you to fine-tune your stance width, and gives you more freedom in your stance location. The Channel is compatible with most major binding brands, but works best with Burton EST bindings.
Additional Features:
Infinite Ride - Burton is able to maximise pop and performance by overbuilding their boards in the factory, and then using machinery to break it down for you. This allows your board to ride the same from day one, to day 100, season after season.
Pro Tip - The tip and tail of this board taper out at the points, reducing swing weight and promoting mobility.
Super Sap Epoxy - Super Sap is a bio-based resin that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional petroleum-based epoxies.
