Burton Supermodel. It’s part of the Gondola Tiered Burton Series, which is a five Teared Series. This is pretty much at the top. With this board, Burton has set the industry standard in performance, technology, and overall awesomeness. It does have a feel rating of 5, which is right in the middle. This board is for the all mountain killer, so if you like riding groomers, or hitting bowls in the morning, this could be the board for you. If you like going through copy trails while everyone is inside the bar, this could be the board for you.
This board literally does it all, all over the mountain. It does have the Burton channel system and it is a Camber board. It has a directional shape with a ten millimeter taper on the tail. The nose is going to be a little bit longer from the tail and the tail is going to be ten millimeters thinner than the nose.
It does have a twin shape flex and a Super Fly 2 Core with Dual-zone EDG and a negative profile. The Super Fly 2 Core has lamented hard and soft woods that run tip to tail and Burton has focused the stiffer woods in the middle of the board, causing for a greater transfer at lightning-fast speed. The Dual-zone EDG wood also runs perpendicular the normal wood and calls for a fast, quick responsive core and the negative profile is actually pretty cool. The negative profile is a little bit thicker in the middle and gradually tapers off on the northern tail reducing motive swing rate. There is Triax fiber glass. The fiber glass runs in three different directions: 45 degrees, negative 45 degrees, and at zero degrees.
There is a lightning bolt inside this board as well. They are energy-transferring beams that run from underneath the bindings towards the nose and the tail. There’s Carbon I beams as well that work alongside and sandwich the Super Fly 2 Core that run tip to tail. Now the base is a centered wide open base and it’s going to durable, it’s going to stay fast, if you keep it well-maintained. It is very porous. You can put a ton of wax in it. You can put high floral, low floral, whatever you want in it. Make sure this base stays moisturized. The edges are the Classic grip and rip edges and it does have a ten forty five sidewall. So, sidewalls run at ten degrees and forty five degrees. Some of the attributes on this board are the Infinite Ride break in programs, so Burton has already broken into this board for you. So, you won’t have to do that, for the first couple of weeks on hill. It also has the Pro Tip meaning that the board actually tapers off on the nose and tail causing less swing weight, for you to swing faster when you spin off those cliffs because everybody does that.
It also has the smooth ride dampening system because this isn’t all mountain board. They wanted to make a dampening system that absorbs the negative energy when you’re rolling through cruddy or chunky snow. They wanted to reduce that amount of negative energy before it hits your body and they have done that with the smooth ride technology in this board. Go check this out. This is the Burton Supermodel for the all-mountain killer and its part of the Green Mountain Project. The materials in this board the top sheet, the base, the core, and the sidewalls all come from some sort or another, recyclable material. Thanks Burton for being so green.
