Lighter than the gasp this board elicits at first sight, this is the snowboard that Burton’s designers have lost sleep over, sweating over every last feature, constantly testing, arguing and improving. Their hard work has paid off: Welcome to the 2009 Burton Vapor. With Carbon Vaporskin Lite Construction, this snowboard is as light as smoke. This is the same technology found on space shuttles for ultimate lightness during launch. Imagine how you’ll blast off jumps – you might even escape gravity and spin off into the void. In addition to being ultra-light, the new Pro-Tip technology reduces swing weight to help you rip an extra 180 with ease. If that’s not enough, it will also help you float over feet of fresh powder. The Infinite Channel System is for snowboarders who know how they like to ride; this feature allows for the most specific fine tuning of board to binding on the market, making your ride anchored to comfort. Check out the Burton Vapor Snowboard, your ticket to the ultimate lightweight performance this side of the Alps.
Smooth Ride Technology: Burton’s exclusive dampening technology designed to eliminate chatter. Bothersome vibrations and shock from flat landings are redeemed by the forgiving shock absorbers
Infinite Ride: Exclusive Pop and Power-enhancing technology. Burton breaks in the board before you buy it by overbuilding it. They also put it on a machine that simulates the conditions the board will encounter during a season on snow. The result is a board that rides the same from the first day forward, allowing you to immediately get out there and rip.
Carbon Vaporskin Lite: Lighter, faster stronger. This is the same technology that makes spaceships light enough to launch. This board is so light it feels like you’re riding on air. Farewell gravity!
Infinite Channel System: An interface unlike anything else on the market, the ICS offers the ultimate bond between board and binding. Fully compatible with any Burton binding, this simple slot gives you a level of adjustability that no traditional insert pad could ever provide. Fine-tune your stance width with millimeter micro-adjustability, then dial in your toe-to-heel centering with custom precision. For the full effect, link it up with an EST binding and experience the clearest, most cushioned, and comfortable connection to ever see snow.
The next evolution of freestyle perfection is the Burton Escapade Snowboard Binding. Working with the team to dial in the exact dimensions, Burton rebuilt the legendary Escapade Snowboard Binding from scratch to wrap your boots in complete comfort. The baseplate shape mirrors your every move, while the canted Living Hinge Real Mesh hi-back offers total response with a forget-it’s-there fit
Size Large fits US women’s shoe sizes 8-10
Pro-Tipped: New technology dramatically reduces swing weight to help you pull that extra 180. If that’s not enough, the Pro Tip also improves float on powder
Pressure Distribution Edges: Edges beneath binding area extend out a half-millimeter for tremendous edge hold on hard, icy conditions, while remaining ever playful on soft snow
Rail Ready Edge Tune: The less-catchy tune lets you slide without hang-ups and still get plenty of grip for hitting kickers.
Enduro Waxing Process: After microfinishing, each Burton board is heated up to expand its pores, and then penetrated with a high end melted wax. Then it is buffed again and ready to ride.
