Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Camber Snowboard | Earth | 2027
One Board. Every Mountain. No Excuses.
The Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero is the board that consistently gets called a quiver killer by riders who've tried everything else — because it genuinely is. Built for intermediate to expert riders who want one board that handles tight trees, icy groomers, side hits, and soft snow days without compromise, the Hometown Hero has a directional shape that floats like a freeride weapon and a twin flex that lets you ride it switch whenever you feel like it. The Earth colourway channels raw, organic energy — layered natural textures from artist Bosco Sodi on the base and sound wave patterns from Burton's Dom Berrini on the topsheet. It's a graphic as considered as the board underneath it.
The directional camber profile is what makes the Hometown Hero tick. Camber runs underfoot on both feet for powerful edge engagement, explosive pop, and the locked-in feel that confident riders at Buller, Falls Creek, and Hotham actually want on groomed snow — while a rockered nose lifts early in variable and soft conditions for float without sacrifice. Balanced Freeride Geometry centres the sidecut on your stance, so the board feels like a twin when you're riding flat base and transitions to a quick, directional carving machine when you tip it on edge. With 12mm of taper across every size, the nose floats in anything from groomed morning corduroy to the soft afternoon slush that Australian resorts serve up by 2pm.
The Super Fly II 700G core uses stronger, lighter woods targeted to specific zones of the core for pop, strength, and a lively response that doesn't fatigue across a full day. Dualzone EGD positions engineered wood grain perpendicular to the core along the toe and heel edges for more edge hold, response, and strength right where it matters most. 45° Carbon Highlights adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to the fiberglass matrix to reduce weight and fine-tune torsional feel — giving the board a precise, responsive feel without the stiffness that makes boards demanding. The Recycled Sintered WFO base is deeply wax-absorbent and built to stay fast across an entire season. Super Sap Epoxy cuts the carbon footprint of the resin by 50% compared to petroleum-based alternatives. The whole thing is built by Kiel-Nindl GmbH in Austria to Family Tree spec — and backed by a 3-year warranty.
Why Ride the Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero?
✅ Directional Camber Profile – Camber underfoot on both feet for powerful edge hold and explosive pop, with a rockered nose that lifts for float in variable and soft snow without sacrificing hard snow performance
✅ Balanced Freeride Geometry – Setback camber with a sidecut centred on your stance; twin feel when riding flat base, tight and quick directional turning on edge — the same board handles groomers and powder days
✅ 12mm Taper — Every Size – Consistent 12mm nose-to-tail taper across the full size range promotes effortless float and easy turn initiation in any condition
✅ Twin Flex – Perfectly symmetrical tip to tail; ride it regular, ride it switch, the flex pattern never fights you regardless of direction
✅ Super Fly II 700G Core with Dualzone EGD – Stronger and lighter targeted woods for zone-specific pop and strength; engineered wood grain along the toe and heel edges adds edge hold, response, and durability
✅ 45° Carbon Highlights – Full tip-to-tail carbon layer reduces overall weight and fine-tunes torsional feel for a precise, responsive ride that doesn't feel stiff or demanding
✅ Pro-Tip — Tapered Tip and Tail Thickness – Reduces swing weight at both ends for faster, easier turn initiation and better mobility in tight terrain
✅ Infinite Ride – Burton overbuilds the board, then machine breaks it in before it leaves the factory; the flex, pop, and feel you ride on day one is the feel you'll still have at the end of the season
✅ Recycled Sintered WFO Base – Extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material infused with specially formulated wax for an ultra-durable base that stays fast season after season
✅ Super Sap Epoxy – Bio-based resin that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% compared to conventional petroleum epoxy
✅ The Channel Mounting System – Compatible with all major bindings, not just Burton; ultimate stance adjustability without the limitations of traditional insert patterns
