Expert Reviews of the Burton Story Board Snowboard
Terri Hunter The Burton Story Board is for the rider who loves to charge the entire mountain and is a constant powder seeker. Its stiffer flex and directional shape make it the ideal board to make every part of the mountain fun. It carves like a dream, turns fast in the trees, and easily floats in the powder. Don't be shy about taking it off a few jumps, too. It is poppy and is stable on landings. Even though it's directional, it goes switch, too, just not as easily as a true twin tip board.
