The 2026 Burton Family Tree Alekesam, designed with the legendary Selema Masekela, blends his surf-inspired style with all-terrain performance. Its directional shape, responsive camber profile, and mid-stiff flex deliver a smooth, dynamic ride whether you’re carving groomers or gliding through fresh powder. Reflecting Selema’s free-spirited approach, this board lets you transform every mountain run into an expression of personal style and adventure.

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 Good Company is set to become a top choice for riders eager to maximize their time in the park and elevate their skills. Featuring the classic performance of a twin shape with a camber profile, it’s perfect for spinning, pressing, and gliding over any feature. The premium, softer-flexing core provides an ideal mix of strength, durability, and responsive snap, giving you the control you need to take your riding to the next level.

Shape/Profile: Twin Camber

Flex: Soft-Mid

Base: Sintered WFO

Details:

• Twin Shape:
  A twin-shaped snowboard is symmetrical with an identical tip and tail, designed for equal performance whether riding forward or switch. Perfect for freestyle tricks, spins, and jumps, it provides balance, stability, and control in both directions.
• Twin Flex:
  The Twin Flex design is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail, offering enhanced balance and versatility for an effortless ride, whether you're riding regular or switch.
• Camber Type: Camber
  Camber is the most aggressive board bend, providing unmatched power, response, edge control, powerful turns, and poppy precision for a dynamic ride.
• Inserts: The Channel
  The Burton Channel replaces the traditional mounting system, featuring a channel for your front and rear inserts. This allows you to fine-tune your stance width and provides more freedom in your stance placement. The Channel is compatible with most major binding brands but works best with Burton EST bindings.
• Laminate: Triax
  Triax fiberglass is layered above and below the core, delivering 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 boost the snowboard’s pop.
• Core: Super Fly 800G Core with Dualzone EGD and Squeezebox Low
  The Super Fly 800G Core uses two types of wood in dual-density vertical laminations—softwood and hardwood—reducing weight while maintaining strength and performance.
• Dualzone EGD: Aligns the wood grain along the heel and toe edges in two unbroken zones, perpendicular to the rest of the core, enhancing edge hold and strength.
• Squeezebox Low: Features thicker, more powerful sections combined with thinner, more flexible ones throughout the core, enhancing energy transfer for a snappy, stable ride. The Squeezebox Low design promotes progression by creating stiffer zones outside the feet, channeling energy to the nose and tail, and enabling smoother flex between the bindings for better control with less effort.
• Base: Sintered bases are crafted from a durable, highly porous material that offers enhanced strength and wax absorption, providing long-lasting glide.
• Infinite Ride
  Burton maximizes pop and performance by overbuilding their boards in the factory and using machinery to break them in. This ensures your board rides the same from day one to day 100, season after season, maintaining consistent performance.
