The Burton Instigator snowboard is the perfect way to fast forward progression so you can spend more time finessing your skills and less time spent sitting around wondering what went wrong. Take the difficulty out of learning to snowboard with this soft-flexing, easy riding board that'll keep you on your feet, growing your confidence, and learning new skills.
Board Type: Beginner
Camber Type: PurePop
An evolution of traditional camber, PurePop 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.
Flex: 1-3/10 (Soft)
Twin Flex - This board is constructed the same at both ends to give a smooth ride while riding regular or switch.
Shape: Directional
This shape features a slightly longer nose than tail, which concentrates pop in the tail while providing extra float and control in any terrain.
Core:
FSC Certified Super fly 800G - Light and loaded with Pop, this core uses dual-species wood in dual density vertical laminations to reduce weight and stay strong.
Dualzone EGD - The wood grain of the core is positioned along the heel and toe edge on two unbroken zones, perpendicular to the rest of the core. This gives consistent edge hold and strength.
Squeezebox Low - A thicker and more powerful core section with thinner and more flexible sections in the tip and tail. This enhances energy transfer and makes the board snappier and more stable. The Low version of Squeezebox has an overall easier feel, with stiffer zones just outside your feet and a softer, smoother flex inside the bindings for more control and less effort.
Biax Glass - This biaxial fibreglass features a jib-friendly, torsionally soft flex that provides a softer, more forgiving, park-focused feel.
Base: Extruded
Speed, strength, and graphical pop in base that requires little maintenance.
Additional Features:
Pro Tip - A thinner tip and tail means reduced weight and swing when in the air, helping you to send it!
Super Sap Epoxy - Super Sap is a bio-based resin that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional petroleum-based epoxies.
