The Burton Vapor snowboard showcases all the tech Burton has to offer. This no-holds-barred snowboard features the most advanced technology to create a deck that is nearly weightless and effortless to ride. VaportechT construction demands only the lightest and toughest components be used, like the new Vaporskin CarbonT that cuts even more weight while adding strength and pop. All of this and more combine to create a snowboard without equal.

• Ultra-lightweight VaportechT construction
• Vaportech AlumaflyT core is Burton's lightest snowboard core
• MultizoneT EGDT puts pressure to the edges for more responsive turning
• Smooth Pro-TipT profiling with thinner tip and tail sections create a dialed flex pattern
• Stainless steel pressure distribution edges resist corrosion and stay sharp longer
• New Sintered N20 WFO base is wax impregnated for ultimate speed in any condition
• Twin like shape for all mountain freestyle riding
• Infinite Ride® technology for long-lasting flex and pop
• Negative core profile rides well on groomed runs or in powder

Burton: Vapor Snowboard - While Burton's Vapor snowboard has always been their lightest expert all-terrain board, this season the company kicked up the performance by replacing the former fiberglass components with a new VaporSkin Carbon that improves the snap and durability while shaving away unwanted ounces. You'll also appreciate the new speed of the Sintered N20 WFO Base, the fastest Burton base that won't demand extra care and performance waxes at the end of every snow day. The Sintered N20 WFO Base has a dual temperature wax impregnation process that holds wax better than previous base formulas. The Vapor retains Burton's proven Vaportech construction, a process that lightens everything--sidewalls, topsheet and resins--without compromising essential hardcore all-terrain durability. The Vaporskin topsheet membrane further reduces the weight while enhancing the overall feel for precision performance. Burton considers the Vapor at its best on groomed runs, but you'll also find exceptional potential in the halfpipe and park. Last season Burton added a range of sizes for more riders, and this season you'll find a new 150-cm. length--the shortest board in the Vapor line. While the Vapor comes in a 163-cm. wide version, we found that burly riders don't enjoy the same sort of pop and air as the lighter riders. If you weigh less than 200 lbs., it's a pretty safe bet that you can count on plenty of frequent flier miles.
