Designed to thrive in Burton's back yard, this chunder buster loves to go fast, blast, and dodge through the tightest tree lines. Burton board designers spend a lot of time poking around in the woods of Vermont, their home state. Tight trees, steep lines, and sudden drops are to be expected, and the Burton Hometown Hero is custom tailored to power through it all. Blast past the tourists and cut straight to the goods. Strategically placed glass stiffens up the nose and tail, allowing the center to flex while retaining snap and response where you need it most. Directional Camber blends with Balanced Freeride Geometry to maintain stability. This board is a favourite of ours here at First Tracks too, with store manager Ash choosing this board to ride steep lines at Thredbo time and time again. 

Camber: Directional Camber

Flex: 7/10

• 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.
• Balanced Freeride Geometry - A setback camber and stance-centred sidecut makes this board feel like a twin when riding flat based, but still has the tight turns and effortless float you'd expect from a directional board.
• 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.
