The 2026 Burton Family Tree Alekesam, designed with the legendary Selema Masekela, blends his surf-inspired style with all-terrain performance.

Shape/Profile: Directional Camber

Flex: Mid-Stiff

Base: Sintered WFO

Details:

• Freeride Snowboards
  Designed for steep, off-piste terrain, freeride snowboards excel in aggressive riding, making them ideal for more advanced riders who want to tackle challenging conditions.

• Powder Snowboards
  Built for deep snow, powder boards typically feature a directional shape with a tapered tail, offering better float and ease of ride in fresh, deep snow.

• Tapered Directional: The tail of the board is narrower than the nose, enhancing control and stability in deeper snow, improving float in powder, and providing smoother turns. This shape is ideal for freeride and backcountry conditions.

• Directional Flex: With more pop in the tail and a stiffer nose, this flex design makes the board easier to control in all conditions, whether you're charging down a mountain or navigating technical terrain.

• Directional Camber introduces rocker in the nose, providing extra float in powder while maintaining the power, response, and edge control of traditional camber. This results in unmatched precision and stability.
• The Burton Channel replaces the traditional mounting system with a channel for front and rear inserts. This allows you to fine-tune your stance width and position, providing more flexibility in your setup. While the Channel is compatible with most major binding brands, it performs best with Burton EST bindings.

• Laminate: Triax with Carbon I-Beam
  Triax fiberglass is layered above and below the core to provide a versatile flex and consistent response, suitable for all types of snowboarding. A lightweight Carbon I-Beam backbone is added to the Triax fiberglass layer to increase pop and responsiveness.

• Super Fly II 700G Core: Uses stronger, lighter woods in targeted areas to provide more pop and strength while reducing weight.

• Dualzone EGD: Aligns the wood grain along the heel and toe edges in two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the core, providing consistent edge hold and strength.

• Squeezebox: Features thicker, more powerful sections combined with thinner, more flexible sections throughout the core, enhancing energy transfer for a snappy, stable ride.

• Base: Sintered WFO
  The Sintered WFO base, standing for Wide F!#@ing Open, is crafted from an ultra-absorbent, high-density sintered material infused with specially formulated wax. This base is durable, fast, and performs well across a variety of conditions.

• Balanced Freeride Geometry
  A setback camber and stance-centered sidecut make this board feel like a twin when riding flat, while still providing the tight turns and effortless float typical of a directional board.

• Super Sap Epoxy
  Super Sap is a bio-based resin that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% compared to conventional petroleum-based epoxies, making the board more environmentally friendly without compromising performance.

The 2026 Burton Counterbalance is a powerhouse snowboard, made for those who demand nothing but the best in performance. With its directional camber, this board delivers unmatched precision, responsiveness, and power. Perfect for tackling fresh snow while still holding an edge on groomers, the Counterbalance thrives in any terrain. Sit back, relax, and let this top-performing board guide you to new heights.

Shape/Profile: Directional Camber

Flex: Mid

Base: Sintered WFO

Details:

• A tapered directional snowboard features a shape where the tail is narrower than the nose, providing enhanced control and stability in deeper snow. This design improves floatation in powder and allows for smoother turns, making it ideal for freeride and backcountry riding. 
• Directional Camber incorporates rocker in the nose, enhancing float in powder while preserving the responsiveness and stability of traditional camber.

• Inserts: The Channel

  The Burton Channel forgoes the traditional mounting system and introduces a channel for your front and rear inserts. This allows you to fine-tune your stance width and gives you more freedom in your stance location. The Channel is compatible with most major binding brands, but works best with Burton EST bindings.

• Laminate: 45° Carbon Highlights:

  The 45° Carbon Highlights is a tip-to-tail carbon layer that cuts down on weight while incorporating 45° angled fibers. This design enhances the board's torsional flex, delivering a more aggressive and responsive ride.

• The Super Fly II 700G Core combines stronger, lighter woods in key areas, boosting pop and strength while reducing weight for a more responsive ride.
• Dualzone EGD aligns the wood grain along the heel and toe edges in two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the core. This setup ensures superior edge hold and strength, delivering a more consistent and stable ride.
• Squeezebox blends thicker, more powerful sections with thinner, more flexible ones throughout the core. This profile improves energy transfer, making the board snappier and enhancing its stability.
• Edge: Frostbite Edges
  Frostbite Edges extend slightly under your bindings, providing extra edge hold on hardpack and ice for superior control and stability in challenging conditions.
• The Sintered WFO base—short for Wide F!#@ing Open—features a high-density, extra absorbent material infused with a special wax. This creates a durable, fast base that handles all conditions with ease.
• Infinite Ride:
  Burton's Infinite Ride process overbuilds each board in the factory before using machinery to break it in. This ensures your board maintains its pop and performance from day one to day 100, year after year, for consistent, long-lasting performance.

The 2026 Burton Rewind Spray Paint is a unisex, high-performance “soft” board designed to take your riding to new heights. With a buttery soft flex, this board lets you push your progression into overdrive, bringing your park skills to the entire mountain. Don’t let its flexibility fool you—the Rewind is packed with tech! Featuring Off-Axis design for a park-friendly stance, an ultra-thin core for lightness, and soft EVA padding to absorb vibrations, it delivers a smooth, stable ride. Easy to press, easy to pop, and incredibly fun, the Rewind is perfect for snowboarders of any level ready to step up their game.

Shape/Profile: Twin Pure Pop Camber 

Flex: Soft

Base: Sintered 

Details:

• Twin Flex has a perfectly symmetrical design from tip to tail, delivering more balance and versatility for an effortless ride, whether you’re riding regular or switch.
• PurePop is an evolution of traditional camber and places subtle flat zones outside your feet to amplify pop and add a more playful feeling to the camber. Early rise tip and tail get your contact points out of the snow quicker, reducing catch and enhancing float.

• Inserts: The Channel

  The Burton Channel forgoes the traditional mounting system and introduces a channel for your front and rear inserts. This allows you to fine-tune your stance width and gives you more freedom in your stance location. The Channel is compatible with most major binding brands, but works best with Burton EST bindings.

• Triax fiberglass is layered above and below the core and creates a versatile flex and consistent response for performance across all types of snowboarding.

  An ultralight Carbon I-Beam backbone is added to the bottom layer of Triax fiberglass to increase pop of the snowboard.

• Super Fly 800G Core with Dualzone EGD and Squeezebox Low: The Super Fly 800G Core utilises two species of wood in dual-density vertical laminations of alternating softwood and hardwood to reduce weight without compromising strength or performance.
• Dualzone EGD aligns the wood grain in the core along the heel and toe edge in two unbroken zones perpendicular to the rest of the core, which gives consistent edge hold and strength.

• Off-Axis Frostbite Edges: Edges that extend out slightly underneath your bindings for enhanced edge hold on hardpack and ice. Off-Axis Frostbite Edges follow the Off-Axis core of the snowboard to efficiently hold your edge better.

• Sintered bases are made from a durable and highly porous base material that provides added strength and wax absorption for long lasting glide.
• Infinite Ride: Burton is able to maximise pop and performance by overbuilding their boards in the factory, and then using machinery to break it down for you. This allows your board to ride the same from day one, to day 100, season after season.
