Head back to the future with the board that kicked snowboard progression into high gear.
From counterculture to revolution. The '80s saw snowboarding rise from being a fringe activity to become a legitimate sport. Few boards welcomed more riders to the fold than the 1987 Burton Elite Snowboard. This retro edition board celebrates the design that made standing sideways accessible to everyone. It combines modern materials with throwback graphics and the original shape including its trademark swallow tail.
Bend: Directional Flat Top
Shape: All Mountain Directional
Terrain: All Mountain / Powder
Details:
- Wide. Stable. Responsive. The Elite's wide waist gives it a stable ride that makes for a quick learning curve and a floaty ride in soft snow.
-
Throwback Style: Inspired by the original Burton Elite, the board stays true to the original graphics and shape for an authentic ride.
- Directional Flat Top Bend features a flat profile overall with a rocker nose for the stability and effortless float perfect for deep days on surfy terrain
- Directional Shape is designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose then tail to concentrate pop in the tail while providing plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition
- 20mm taper provides floating and turning with a shorter width on the tail that drops it down and a wider width at the nose that pops up.
- Directional Flex features increased pop in the tail and a more resilient nose that allows riders to easily maintain control through all terrain and conditions
- SuperFly 800g Core is a dual species wood core that is loaded with pop and alternates between hard and soft woods to reduce overall weight without limiting performance
- Dualzone EGD engineered wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones perpendicular to the core for more edge-hold, response, and strength
- Triax fiberglass provides versatile flex and response for everything from mini to mega shred
- Sintered WFO Base infuses specially formulated wax deep into the pores of the extra-absorbent, high-density recycled sintered material, making it ultradurable for riding all season in any condition
