Burton Hate Snowboard - 09/10 - 2009

Forget the hater below... Either board will stoke you out! I would agree with Lyman -- 152 to avoid the drag... the 148 waist is a bid too narrow. And Lyman is on point with the flexes.

well i would go with the young blood in the 148 if i were u but i dont really like burton that much but u should be good on either one as far as toe and heal drag go. as far as the tables u should be ok for tables on the 148 if u are used to riding a bigger board it might take a day or two too get used to the size. IN SHORT go 148 in either board and u will be happy with ur choice

Because of the your foot size, go with the 152. you don't weigh that much, but your feet are too big for the 148. The hate is going to be super soft. The youngblood will give you more pop and snap, if you just want to jib in the street, go with the hate. If you liek to mess around in the park and street go with the yougblood.

The hate is really soft. It is great for rails. It lets you get your press on for sure. A great soft jib board.

Yeah you could definitely rock the 148,
The weight limit on it is 140lbs / 63 kg
based on the chart on their website.
Weight is a bigger factor than height when sizing.

The 152 if this is going to be your only board. If it is going to be your urban board only, you could run the 148.

The Hate board is one of the most enjoyed boards in the Buton line. It is super lightwieght and wtih a great flex pattern and it also has lots of pop.

Thanks Ryan,
did you notice any very good points to the hate?
I mean something you found better with the hate then with other boards, like pop, stability, ... ?

The clash is more of a beginner style board.I have ridden them all!

GO WITH THE HATE over the clash for sure!!!!!! hands down! this board will stoke you out!

the reviews are accurate!

there is a version of this board with v-rocker, some call it the limited edition, some call it the winter model. either way it's got the v-rocker. good luck finding it. i got mine at the local shop.

zero camber broseph, no v-rocker on the Hate.

It zero camber... so its flat between the bindings and out toward the edges. It does not rocker up at all.

Zero Camber not only makes your board easier to press, butter, and revert, but less likely to catch an edge and give you a bloody lip on take-offs and landings.

The overall freedom you’ll feel is a lot like loosening the trucks on your skateboard and perfect as a jib-focused board.

Zero camber is not as loose feeling as a rockered board... Still holds and edge!

There is a winter delivery "hate" board that is also available in a v-rocker should you want a slightly lil' looser feel.

burton says this is a 2 but ive come to notice that this is more of a price rating than a feel rating. the clash gets a 1 while the vapor gets a 9 or 10. of course theyre not going to give the "lower end" board a high rating, because then noone would buy the 1500 dollar vapor. give credit to burton though, this board doesnt have as much feel as the vapor but deff. more than a 2. like ryan says, closer to a 4.

Burton actual feel rating is a "2" on it... I would say its soft to medium flexing... feels like a 3-4 to me.

For sure... Its a medium to soft flexing board with camber. Camber stomps landings! It will perform well on jumps, but does not have the ultra aggresive power of a stiff board. However, if you buy an ultra stiff board, you will not be stoked on how it performs on flat lands tricks or jibs (rails, boxes, etc.)

Unless you are hitting jumps that are over 50-60 foot, I think you will be more than happy with this boards performance on jumps! ... and you will be wicked-stoked on how this thing jibs and rides rails!

Well, it is good for freestyle so i would think it would perform on the jumps.
