The Good Ride TakeThe Burton Supermodel Snowboard Review By The Good RideBoard Tried- 163 Groomers- This is one of this boards best qualities. It's fast, easy to turn for its size and super fun to carve. It owns the groomers if you fancy the euro carve or the good old American straight-line. It excels on firm but not hard days and still does pretty well in hard pack. On the slushy or chewed up days it handles the chatter the bumps can create well but is a little more difficult to make tight turns through the rutted out snow. Powder- Who says a cambered board isn't fun in the powder! The 10mm taper and 2.5cm setback makes for good floating. It's not going to be as good in the trees as the Fish or Malolo but it will dominate in terms of speed. It's size helps on those wide open days or keeping speed in less than steep situations. Turn Initiation- This turns much better that a non tapered board of it's size and rides a little smaller than you would expect. That being said this board still takes a little work to turn and we like that. You don't want a freeride board that you can't lean into? You want a bit of both worlds. Something easy to initiate a turn but not too easy to where you can't carve. Burton does a good job with both ends of it. Speed- This is almost chatter free and that's pretty impressive for its medium/stiff flex. There are faster boards out there but it's not bad. Lightweight- It's pretty light but its not going to break any records. It's sized bigger than most boards so it will be a bit heavier but pound for pound it's pretty light. Edge hold- The tapered shape takes a little from the edge hold but it's size and sharp edges make up for it and keep it where it should be. You will be fine in anything but the snowment. If you are riding this board the rest of these categories won't matter too much but we will say this board has a lot of spring to make any natural feature a jump. It will also handle a few jumps in the park well and anything on the mountain. It's more of a method type of board than a 540 type of board but you should know that already. 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 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.

An advocate of powerful turns and poppy precision, camber speaks to the core values of board design. Acting like a suspension, camber creates a lively ride capable of slicing and stomping the entire mountain. Camber distributes weight evenly over the entire length of the board allowing for smooth, continuous edge control from tip to tail.  2010 Burton SUPERMODEL Snowboard DescriptionIn-bounds and beyond—the OG ATV.
