2008 Vapor
- In:
Experience universal enlightenment, with the 2008 Burton Vapor Snowboard. If your board weighed nothing, would riding become effortless? Would anything you imagine suddenly seem possible? Would you become so light that you could float above, rather than on the snow? The most technologically refined snowboard on earth, the Burton Vapor erases the line between mind and mountain, allowing you to ride any terrain with more control and ability than ever before. With the fastest base on the Burton line and a graphic that kicks so much ass it should be illegal, the 2008 Burton Vapor Snowboard delivers more than you’ve ever dreamed.
NEW Vaporskin Carbon — Lighten up. NEW Vaporskin Carbon utilizes the same magic found on space shuttles to shave additional weight off the board while maximizing snap and strength. Subtract glass, add carbon, carry the stoke and what do you get? A board so lightweight it feels like riding on air. NEW Sintered N20 WFO Base — Speed’s secret recipe. This new base takes dual-temperature wax impregnation to scary-fast, chemistry-nerd levels. This super-fast, low-maintenance base will leave all your tuning guru friends eating dust in the flats.
Vaportech Construction — As close as you can get to riding on air. Edges, core, sidewalls, topsheet, fiberglass, resin, even the graphic application – everything is minimized, then enhanced with the same magic NASA uses to explore outer space. Bottom line: seemingly-impossible strength-to-weight ratio for the ultimate blend of weightlessness and hyper-snow-sensitivity. Exclusive to the Burton Vapor. Vaportech Alumafly Core — A Vapor exclusive. Insanely strong, NASA-grade Alumafly™ aluminum honeycomb core is 90% air. Vaportech takes Alumafly to the outer limits by minimizing materials and incorporating even more high-end space-age magic. Results: surreal snow-sensitivity and board control.
Infinite Ride — No more break-in period. No more limp noodle. Flex and pop that stays true, no matter how hard you ride. This exclusive pop and power-enhancing technology allows them to break in the board for you, while also increasing its strength. Stainless Steel Pressure Distribution Edges — Superior defense against rust and corrosion for razor-sharp edges and hassle-free maintenance. Edges extend beneath your bindings to give you the extra edge hold you need to cleanly slice through bulletproof hardpack without changing the board’s feel.
Pro-Tip — Another Burton first, tapering the thickness of the tip and tail dramatically reduces swing weight to help you get around that extra 180 also improves float in powder. Negative Core Profile — Thinner sections of core between the bindings provide softer flex and torsion, perfect for park, pipe and rails. These boards excel over a variety of snow conditions and terrain.
Multizone EGD — Burton’s exclusive Engineered Grain Technology [EGD] takes edge control one step further. Transmits maximum power to your edges for precise carving and insane snow feel.
