Hybrid Camber Twin Like Directional Shape

With the Rocker and Hybrid trend one of the hybrid shapes Burton ignored in the past was hybrid camber.  Many other companies made many awesome hybrid camber boards so it isn't a bad idea for Burton to include this option in their Line. Because of this Burton introduced Camber Humps wich is a hybrid camber additon to the Custom Line. The 2012 Burton Restricted Snowboard is somewhere between the Custom Camber and the Custom V-Rocker.  To us this is a little closer to the Custom Camber and it doesn't have that ultra loose feeling of many of the mostly rocker hybrid camber rides.  On the other side it's still better than a camber board in powder and it's more forgiving.  It's stable like a camber board when one footing or flat basing and it's going to hold an edge a lot better than the Custom V-Rocker because the camber between the feet goes all the way back down to the snow.  This isn't perfect but we'd like to see how it progresses over the next couple of years...that is if it sticks around.  This is for the rider who likes camber better but would like a few of the bennifets that hybrid shapes offer in conditions like Powder.

The Good Ride Take

The Good Ride Take on Burton's Hybrid Camber

It seems that Burton always has to add an extra bend in all their hybrid shapes.  Burton added 2 seperate camber areas where most have one in the middle.  This makes sense and acts similar to how a ski boot presses down on a ski so it should make sense on a snowboard.  It also means there is more pressure on the edge between to create better edge hold just like most traditional hybrid camber shapes.

The Good Ride Take on Hybrid Camber
For the most part there are two types of hybrid camber that we see out there these days.

1. Mostly Rocker Hybrid Camber
This type of ride, like many boards, has camber and rocker but unlike other rockered boards the center has a mini camber. This is usually 1-3mm high, sits only between the bindings and then curves up right after. From a distance this board looks like a rocker board but when you look closer you see the little camber between the feet. This is not as loose as hybrid rocker but it’s very close. It is very stable between the feet and easy to one foot or flat base in any condition out there. Mostly Rocker Hybrid Camber is very versatile. You will see this design on anything from Freestyle to Freeride style snowboards. This will work well with all ability levels and riding styles.

2 Mostly Camber Hybrid Camber
There are all types of designs but this type usually looks like a Camber board and rides much closer to an old school Camber board.  ONe thing you will notice is usually when you step on the board the tip and tail rise up a lot more than a normal camber board will.  Some are mostly camber and others have a bit more rocker but you will always notice they have camber.  This allows for a stable, fast carve friendly feeling you get with camber but also makes it more catch free and floaty in powder.  This doesn't float effortlessly like hybrid rocker, mostly rocker hybrid camber or flat to rocker but it does better than camber.  You will mainly see this on aggressive freestyle to all mountain to freeride style snowboards.

The Good Ride Take on Burton

Burton is huge. They have developed or acquired most of the technology that we use today. Burton is one of the only companies that can provide you with everything you need to snowboard from boards to beanies.  Burton even owns arguably the best surfboard company Channel Islands because Jake likes to surf.  They are like the Yankees of snowboarding because they can always outspend their competition to win.

The positives- Burton provides more products for each gear/clothing/accessory category than any other company.  Burton has possibly the best customer service in the snowboarding industry.  Burton continuously spends more money than almost any company to develop new tech or just make what they have better.   Burton sponsors more pro’s and get’s more high level user feed back than any other company.  They have some of the best boots, bindings and boards in the industry.  They also have great clothing.

The Negatives- Because Burton spends so much money on sponsorship and tech they have to pass this cost along to the products they sell.   They relentlessly continue to jack up the prices every year.  You are almost always going to get a good product from Burton’s higher end line but some mid to low level products don’t stack up to the competition in the same price range.  Burton always tries to make proprietary tech like the channel tech and 3 hole binding tech so you can only ride Burton Gear which sucks! We wish they wouldn’t act like the Microsoft of snowboarding.

The bottom line is Burton is the 800lb patriarch of our industry that makes good stuff and backs it up with good customer service.  The snowboarding world owes soo much to them but at the same time they can be very frustrating when it comes to price and proprietary technology.

 

Company Information

Burton Restricted Custom 2012

Burton Restricted

CUSTOM RESTRICTED

The latest hybrid hammer hucker.

Special issue for Restricted, the Custom with NEW Camber Humps introduces the latest evolution in Springloaded hybrid performance. Taking the loose and playful feel of rocker, Camber Humps add aggressive power to the mix for a ride that leans towards the camber side of the spectrum. Full contact zones between and outside the feet deliver high-speed stability. The snappy suspension of camber is focused underfoot for pre-loaded pop. Rocker at the tip and tail adds the necessary float and catch-free feel.
