Reaching deep into the backcountry is where the Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Splitboard thrives. Gripping the skin track, gliding up the hill, and then absolutely ripping down are just some of the features that'll knock your socks off. Equipped with a strong and lightweight FSC™ Certified Super Fly II™ 700G Splitboard Core, this split features carbon highlights to reduce weight and make your uphill a breeze.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Directional Camber  A blend of rocker and camber in the nose combines float and control while camber under the back foot drives with power and stability.

 
Flex

Personality  5 - 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Directional Flex  This flex features increased pop in the tail and a more resilient nose that allows riders to easily maintain control through all terrain and conditions.

Shape

Directional  The classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition.

Balanced Freeride Geometry  Balanced Freeride Geometry ends the debate between twin and directional with setback camber and a sidecut that is centered on your stance to create a twin freestyle feel when riding flat base. On edge it turns tight and quick with the float and prowess expected from a directional deck.

Pro-Tip  A tapered tip and tail thickness reduces swing weight for easier mobility.

12mm Taper

Core

FSC™ Certified Super Fly II™ 700G Splitboard Core  Stronger and lighter woods target specific areas of the core to provide pop, strength, and reduced weight.

Squeezebox  Burton's most versatile Squeezebox profile improves pop and performance through the balance of thicker, more powerful core sections with thinner, more flexible sections. Rider energy is transferred outward from beneath the feet, energizing the tip and tail while making the board snappier, more stable and easier to manipulate.

Laminates

45° Carbon Highlights  Carbon Highlights optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine tune torsional feel to achieve different ride characteristics. A 60° fiber angle creates a highly maneuverable and playful feel, while a 45° fiber angle provides more aggressive ride.

Mystery Glass  Using a formula from the future, Mystery Glass is the result of a robotic-built complex carbon layup that allows Burton to manipulate flex and feel while revolutionizing strength-to-weight.

Base

Sintered WFO  Infusing a specially formulated wax deep into the pores of this extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material results in an ultra-durable base that stays wide open all season and in any condition.

Additional Features

Super Sap® Epoxy  A resin formulated with bio-based materials that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional all-petroleum-based epoxies. Less oil consumption means even less of a carbon footprint per board.

Infinite Ride™  This Burton-exclusive technology allows maximized pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. Whether you choose to ride Flat Top, Flying V™, or Camber, rest assured that with Infinite Ride™ your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.

The Family Tree Collection  Based on existing shapes, but tweaked to make them even better for your ultimate day of riding, the Family Tree boards come in a range of gender-neutral sizes and shapes built for all types of riders. Designed for powder, but capable of conquering any terrain, these deep-seeded shapes shine from the resort to the backcountry.

Binding Compatibility

Split Channel  Go ahead and get picky with your splitboarding stance, and continue to fine-tune it as the season unfolds. With the Split Channel, you get the strongest, fastest, easiest, and most adjustable mounting system ever offered on a splitboard. The days of compromise are officially over. All Burton splitboards with the Split Channel come with pucks pre-mounted for easy setup.
