Burton Free Thinker Snowboard 2025

The Burton Free Thinker Snowboard is Danny Davis' true twin favorite, perfect for hot laps in the park, pipe, or mobbing side hits across the mountain. Its true twin symmetry invites endless creative expression in any direction, while the control of camber ensures a quick and poppy ride. Unleash your freestyle potential with a board that's designed for maximum fun and versatility.

Product Details

Rocker Type

CamberTried and true, camber has been the dominant board bend in the snowboard industry for almost 40 years. Cambered snowboards deliver precise turning and edge control, with spring-loaded pop providing better jumping characteristics.

Flex

Personality5 - 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Shape

TwinPerfectly symmetrical for a balanced ride that's equally versatile regular or switch. Jib, spin, stomp, and butter with a greater balance of freestyle mobility and cat-like stability no matter which way you point it.

Pro-TipA tapered tip and tail thickness reduces swing weight for easier mobility.

Core

Super Fly II™ 700G CoreStronger and lighter woods target specific areas of the core to provide pop, strength, and reduced weight.

Dualzone™ EGD™The wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the wood core for consistent edge-hold and added strength.

Squeezebox LowWith an overall easier feel, Squeezebox Low brings high-end core profiling technology to the progressing rider. Stiffer zones just outside your feet create a more direct energy transfer to the tip and tail, while enabling a softer, smoother flex between the bindings. The end result is more control with less effort from the rider.

Laminates

45˚ Carbon HighlightsCarbon Highlights optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine tune torsional feel to achieve different ride characteristics. A 60° fiber angle creates a highly maneuverable and playful feel, while a 45° fiber angle provides a more aggressive ride.

Base

Sintered WFOInfusing a specially formulated wax deep into the pores of this extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material results in an ultra-durable base that stays wide open all season and in any condition.

Additional Features

Infinite Ride™This Burton-exclusive technology allows maximized pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. Whether you choose to ride Flat Top, Flying V™, or Camber, rest assured that with Infinite Ride™ your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.

Super Sap® EpoxyA resin formulated with bio-based materials that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional all-petroleum-based epoxies. Less oil consumption means even less of a carbon footprint per board.

Binding Compatibility

The Channel® Mounting SystemStronger, faster, easier, and more adjustable -- The Channel™ gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings (not just Burton's).

Channel Inserts IncludedChannel Inserts are required to mount your bindings. Inspect packaging before disposing.

Binding

Burton Cartel Snowboard Bindings

It's fair to say the Burton Cartel Snowboard Bindings have been around the block a few times. They're teenagers now, and they ride like the hoodlums they are. If they were a person they'd be getting into fights at school and trying to break into the adult beverages cabinet. But they're not, they're snowboarding bindings, so they're content to rage around the mountain instead, wreaking havoc on everything they come into contact with. With a medium-stiff flex, single component Re:Flex™ baseplate construction, and FullBED cushioning with B3 Gel, the Cartels offer the stability, board feel, and response required to keep you in supreme command of your line, no matter how rowdy it gets. Better tell ma you'll be late for dinner.

Product Details

Flex

Medium-Stiff FlexHelps with quick, technical maneuvers, even at high speeds. Great for all-mountain carving, powerful freeriding and charging through the terrain park.

Baseplate

Re:Flex™ Binding SystemOffers more flex, feel, and cushioning than traditional disc bindings, in a package that's universally compatible with all current mounting systems, including 4x4, 3D® (via Burton Rider Service, sold separately), and the Channel®. The minimized, cored base-plate with Living Hinge™ disc reduces the weight and footprint of the binding, while also bending freely for a more natural flex.

Single Component 30% Short-Glass / Nylon Composite BaseplateMore responsive yet playful. One material throughout creates consistent response and feel for all-terrain domination.

Re:Flex™ FullBED Cushioning SystemOffers full underfoot cushioning that maximizes comfort while minimizing fatigue. Anchored to the baseplate, the stealth trap door design makes it easy to access the mounting hardware.

Highback

Single Component ConstructionThe simplicity of a one-piece hi-back means immediate response. Using Burton's book of material secrets, they can manipulate the overall flex profile -- from buttery to responsive.

Zero-Lean Canted Hi-Back DesignYour legs don't go straight up, and neither should your hi-backs. This ergonomic design follows the natural contours of your left and right legs to maximize control and comfort. Riders who prefer a more playful and relaxed feel will dig the Zero Forward Lean design on select hi‑backs. As always, you can still choose to crank ‘em forward for quicker control when carving or climbing icy pipe walls.

DialFLAD™The higher the Forward Lean angle on your hi-backs, the quicker your heel-edge turns. Crank ’em forward for icy hits in the pipe, or back ’em off for jibbing.

Straps

Hammockstrap™ 2.0Everything Burton's team riders love about the Hammockstrap, but paired with Smooth Glide™ buckles for a reduced profile and more comfortable fit.

Supergrip Capstrap™The Supergrip Capstrap™ delivers optimal fit and function with an ultra-minimalist, glueless, stitchless, and PU-free injection molded strap component that works both as a capstrap™ or over the toe. Simple and super durable.

Flex SliderMakes strapping-in a breeze with a strategically stretched hinging zone that allows the heel strap to flex and fall fully open. Thanks to science of forced molecular alignment, the Flex Slider is also incredibly strong.

Buckles

Smooth Glide™ BucklesLightweight aluminum and polycarbonate levers give you season after season of buttery smooth and reliable ratcheting power.

Additional Features

Compatible with All Major Mounting SystemsPlease note, the 3D Hinge Disc is required for mounting on 3D systems (not included).
