Burton Snowboards

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I pick the right Burton snowboard size and width for my height, weight, and riding goals?

  Choose size primarily by height and weight, shifting larger for powder to increase float and shorter for park to improve maneuverability and pop. Consider effective edge, sidecut radius, and stance width—Burton’s Good Company ranges from about 135cm up to 159W for wider feet. Use Burton’s snowboard finder to match specific models and sizes to your body and riding style.
• What’s the difference between a true twin and a directional snowboard, and which should I choose?

  A true twin (like the Good Company Camber) is symmetrical in shape and flex for centered stance, making it ideal for park, jibbing, and switch riding. Directional boards put more nose volume and setback stance toward the tail for better float and stability in powder and high-speed all‑mountain charging. Pick a true twin for freestyle focus and a directional shape for deep snow and carving performance.
• How does Burton’s The Channel mounting system affect stance options and board feel, and is it compatible with EST bindings?

  The Channel provides continuous stance adjustment with two screws per end instead of six, so you can micro-adjust setback and width without compromising flex. Its design maintains a continuous tip‑to‑tail flex and—when paired with EST bindings—delivers a more direct board feel with fewer “dead” spots underfoot. The system is widely compatible with Burton’s EST binding line for optimized board‑to‑binding integration.
• How does the Good Company Camber compare to Burton’s powder or all‑mountain boards?

  The Good Company Camber is a true‑twin park‑oriented board with full camber for strong edge hold and pop, built to be playful and forgiving in park and urban riding. By contrast, Burton’s powder or directional all‑mountain models use wider noses, setback stances, and often rocker or directional cambers to boost float, stability, and carving at speed. Choose Good Company for jumps and switch tricks, and a directional/all‑mountain model for deeper snow and high‑speed stability.
