Burton Super Hero Snowboard - Wide - 2012

The Burton Super-Hero Wide Snowboard is recognized as 'amazing' 'spectacular,' and 'stupendous' by seasoned and novice park-rats alike. This big-footed booter blaster and soft-flexing rail-ringer relies on the freestyle-focused Flat Top profile, Nug Raduction shaping, and twin geometry to save the day, all while foregoing the tight spandex and obnoxious neon colors.

  • New Flat Top profile features a flat zone between the feet for camber-like stability and continuous edge control, along with a subtle early rise at the nose and tail for hook-free buttering and pressing that you expect from a rocker
  • Nug Raduction allows you to size down the Super Hero by 4 to 5cm from your normal board size by utilizing a family of tech features including Jumper
  • Cables, Side Effects, Squeeze Box, and a wider waist width
  • High Voltage Jumper Cables turn flop into pop by lacing the laminate with ultra-light carbon stringers that harness energy from under your feet and disperse it towards the nose and tail
  • Scooped nose and tail turn use a rail-to-rail concave to up the edges for a hook-free ride
  • Frostbite edges protrude right under the feet to grab ice only where you need as to never feel grabby or hooky
  • Squeezebox core profiling shaves down sections of the core down to make them thin and flexible, leaving areas prone to impact and compression thicker and more resilient , resulting in a balanced feel
  • Super Fly core vertically sandwiches hard and soft wood to blend lively snap, durability, and forgiveness together for the riders who value the ability to butter and crack oversized ollies on the same deck
  • Side Effects lengthen the surface area at the contact points for hook-free planing in powder and increased edge hold on groomers and chop
  • Sintered base is made from a durable, porous compound that retains wax, holds speed on flats, and resists damage from park features and under-snow hazards
  • Pro-Tips thin out the nose and tail towards the edge to shave weight and swing weight so you can hopefully sneak in another 180 to your spin
  • Infinite Ride technology initially overbuilds the core and breaks it in before it leaves the factory so you get a board that feels broken-in out of the box with improved durability as a bonus

Bottom Line: Sometimes good guys ride in black.

Park Specific Raduction for the bigger boot

By:
October 1, 2012

All the tech downsized and put into a short board. Raduction lets you downsize 5 cm allowing for a shorter more playful ride. The Super Hero has the Flat Top board bend and Side Effects for a longer effective edge and more predictable ride. Also, featuring Infinite Ride, Frostbite, Jumper Cables for more pop, a turned up tip/tail with Scoop, and Squeezebox for more continues board flex.

Impressive

By:
January 3, 2013

I know this is considered a freestyle board but it carves and holds an edge better than most all mountain boards I've ridden. Really stable at high speeds. It's so short and light that spins and turns are simple. It's just an all around fun board to ride.
