Burton Ration Snowboard Review
burton-ration-148

$299

 Beginner to Advanced Freesyle
Camber Directional Twin Shape
The Burton Ration is a entry level beginner board that is kind of a throw back to the old days with it's camber shape.  We would of liked to see some sort of hybrid camber or hybrid rocker shape for a low cost entry level board.  Most beginners prefer a rocker or some kind of hybrid shape to be more forgiving on those first painful days on the hill so we are surpised that Burton went with camber.  However for those who want more of a challange then you can go with the Ration.  If you are an intermediate to advanced rider who want's the technical approach camber offers to the mountain and are low on funds this isn't a bad choice.  Also pay attention to the weight range because this isn't going to ride like the description if you are over 175lbs.
