Burton Hometown Hero Snowboard 2027

Built for riders who want confidence across the whole mountain, this board combines a directional freeride shape with camber under both feet for powerful edge hold, stability, and control in variable conditions. A rockered nose and 12.5mm taper improve float in powder while keeping the ride smooth and responsive everywhere else.

A lightweight Super Fly II™ 700G Core delivers a lively feel packed with pop, while Dualzone™ EGD™ and Squeezebox technology enhance edge response, stability, and energy transfer. The result is a board that feels powerful through turns yet playful enough for ollies, side hits, and all-mountain freestyle riding.

45° Carbon Highlights Fibreglass adds extra snap and precision without making the board overly stiff, while the durable Sintered WFO Base stays fast in all snow conditions.

Balanced Freeride Geometry gives the board a more natural twin-like feel when riding flat base, making it versatile across groomers, powder, and mixed terrain. Finished with Burton’s Infinite Ride™ construction, The Channel® mounting system, and eco-conscious Super Sap® Epoxy, this board is designed to perform season after season. 

Tech:

• Directional Camber Bend: The Directional Camber Bend features camber under both feet for solid stability through deep turns and unpredictable conditions, while the rockered nose adds extra lift to keep you floating with ease.
• Directional Freeride Shape, Taper 12.5mm: A twin flex balances the directional shape & 12.5mm taper for an all-terrain ride.
• Super Fly II™ 700G Core: 700G Core is a dual-species wood core that is loaded with pop and reduces overall weight without limiting performance.
• Dualzone™ EGD™: Dualzone EGD engineered wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones perpendicular to the core for more edge hold, response and strength.
• Squeezebox: technology that transfers energy outward from under your feet, energising the tip and tail for added snap when exiting a turn and ollieing. Thinner core sections underfoot transition to thicker, more powerful areas between and outside your feet for a more stable board that can be powered up and manipulated with less effort.
• 45° Carbon Highlights Fibreglass: 45° Carbon Highlights from tip to tail deliver snappy pop without the stiff side effects.
• Sintered WFO Base: Sintered WFO base infuses specially formulated wax deep into the pores of the extra absorbent, high density recycled sintered material, making it ultra durable for riding all season in any condition.
• Balanced Freeride Geometry: Balanced Freeride Geometry ends the debate with setback camber and a sidecut that is centered on your stance to create a twin freestyle feel when riding flat base.
• Infinite Ride™: With Infinite Ride, your board will maintain it’s flex, pop and feel from day one, season after season.
• The Channel®: The Channel® Board Mount is compatible with all major bindings and lets you dial in the stance exactly the way you like it.
• Pro-Tip: The nose and tail have been refined to reduce weight and improve handling.
• Super Sap® Epoxy: Super Sap® is gentler on the planet but still delivers the same strength and durability that Burton demand when building boards.
• Personality: 5-8 (Medium - Aggressive)
• Terrain: Park: 4/10, All-Mountain: 7/10, Powder: 8/10
