Quick overview

The Burton Family Tree Forager was designed with the help of snowboarding legend Masa Takeuchi. Takeuchi's riding style is all about style and flow, while still being clean and sharp. The Forager is just that, a playful, directional snowboard that flows seamlessly through powder while you still can throw out big arcing turns on groomers.

Family Tree Line Up

The Burton Family Tree Models are, completely up to date, gender neutral. A unified look for men, women and kids with a focus on freeride, be it the deepest powder or steep couloirs in the French Alps.

Details

PROFILE

  • Directional Camber
    Camber underfoot with early-rise rocker in the nose. Early rocker causes the nose to lift in powder while camber under both feet maintains momentum and stability through deep-driving turns and variable conditions.

  • Balanced Freeride Geometry
    In the simplest terms, it is a twin-shaped, camber snowboard with a longer, wider, rocker nose added on. This creates a board that can rip both hard-pack and pow with precision.

  • Taper
    The widest point in the sidecut tapers in toward the tip earlier for less drag and hooking in powder. Swing weight is also reduced making the ski even more maneuverable in difficult snow.

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


CORE

  • Dragonfly 600G Multizone EGD Core
    Multi-Zone Engineer Grain Direction (Multizone EGD™). Burton-specific engineered wood grains. In four separate zones, the wood grain is perpendicular to the core adjacent to The Channel®- the area from which a rider’s power emanates-for ultimate strength and edge control. Even more edge-hold, response, and strength.

  • Squeezebox
    Squeezebox is a patented Burton-only core profiling technology that allows for a more stable launch platform just outside of the feet, increased energy & spring in the tip/tail as well as a faster response with energy directed closer to your feet. Thinner core profile underfoot provides more board maneuverability and the thicker sections outside of your feet can be used for loading up energy for more pop.


REINFORCEMENTS

  • 45° Carbon Highlights High Voltage
    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 45° fiber angle provides a more aggressive ride. Hi-Voltage means added carbon strands to the angled fiber layers to add life and further reduce weight. Bottom Glass = Uni-Direction Carbon & Carbon Fishnets & -45°/+45° Top Glass = -45°/+45° & Carbon Fishnets + Uni-Direction Glass (0°)


BASE

  • Sintered WFO Base
    A small percentage of wax is impregnated within the sintered base so it will maintain glide and speed longer between waxes. Also comes in a Recycled variation, Recycled Sintered WFO.


SIDEWALL & EDGES

  • ABS (recycled) Sidewall
    Provides enhanced durability while keeping the core safe from moisture. When a plastic alternative is unavailable, as in the case of ABS sidewalls, Burton has choosen for a recycled material to improve the sustainability of their products.


OTHERS

  • The Channel
    The Channel® is Burton’s answer to connecting bindings to a snowboard in the strongest way possible without sacrificing board flex and feel underfoot while giving you ultimate control of your stance. Compatible with all major bindings (not just Burtons).

  • Infinite Ride
    This Burton-exclusive technology allows us to maximize pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. No matter the bend, rest assured that with Infinite Ride™ your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.

  • Super Sap Resin
    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, which is good in our book.
