Burton FT Hometown Hero X-Ray 2026 Snowboard

Blast and Dodge It All on this Quiver-of-One

We spend a lot of time poking around Vermont's tight trees and icy lines, so we built the Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Snowboard to blast through it all. It's a daily driver with a build and materials worthy of the Family Tree name.

The directional shape has enough taper to float the nose on deeper days, while the board's directional camber and flex maintain the pop to keep it lively in all conditions and terrain.

What makes this board tick?

• Twin Stance and Directional Float
  The board's Freeride Directional Shape centres your stance for a twin freestyle feel when riding flat base. On edge it turns tight and quick with the soft snow float and feel of a directional deck.
• Crud-Busting Power: Strategically placed glass stiffens up the nose and tail for bump-busting power and response.
• Freeride Focus: Family Tree boards are designed to feed the freeride mindset, and the Hometown Hero gives you full power to get after it in all conditions.
• Flex: 6.5/10

The extra details:

• Freeride Directional Shape features a setback camber and a sidecut that is centered on your stance to create a twin freestyle stance when riding flat base, and on edge it turns tight and quick with the float and prowess of a directional deck
• 12mm Taper provides a versatile ride that promotes free and easy turns, making this board perfect for riding in any condition
• Directional Camber Bend has camber under both feet for stability through deep-diving turns and variable conditions and a rockered nose that adds lift for increased float
• Twin Flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for a balanced ride that's equally versatile regular or switch
• Super Fly II 700G Core uses stronger and lighter wood to provide pop and strength while reducing overall weight; 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
• 45° Carbon Highlights Fiberglass build optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine-tune torsional feel
• WFO Base infuses specially formulated wax deep into the pores of the extra-absorbent, high-density recycled sintered material, making it ultradurable for riding all season in any condition
• The Channel® Board Mount is designed to help dial in the perfect stance and is compatible with all major bindings
• Artist Ryan Crotty ties the Family Tree collection together with abstract mountainscapes that complement saturated colors, creating dynamic graphics that glow with a meditative calm.
• 3-YEAR WARRANTY All 2014 and newer Burton snowboards with The Channel mounting system (such as the one you are looking at here) are backed by a three-year warranty from date of purchase.
