Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Snowboard

This board is designed for intermediate to advanced youth riders. Its directional shape and medium flex are built for exploring the whole mountain, which can be less forgiving for someone still learning basic turning and stopping techniques.

The Directional Camber profile combines stability underfoot with a rockered nose. This helps the board float easily in powder while maintaining the solid edge hold and power you need for carving on groomed runs.

This board uses The Channel mounting system, which is compatible with most major binding brands. However, it works best with Burton bindings that feature EST or Re:Flex technology, as they allow for the most precise stance adjustments.

Yes, the Sintered WFO base is porous and designed to absorb wax deeply for a faster, more durable ride. To keep it performing at its best, you should plan on waxing it regularly throughout the season.

While the directional shape and taper excel in powder, the Hometown Hero Smalls is a versatile all-mountain board. It handles groomed runs, side hits, and varied terrain with plenty of stability and response.

A 5/10 flex rating is considered medium, offering a balanced feel that isn't too stiff or too soft. It provides enough support for high-speed stability while remaining playful enough for young riders to manipulate the board easily.
