Burton Family Tree Sketch Artist Snowboard

No, this board is designed for intermediate to expert riders. Its precision-focused camber profile and directional shape require a higher level of board control and technique than a beginner-friendly model.

The freeride directional shape is built to excel in one direction, offering better float in powder and more stability when carving. It features a slight setback, which helps keep the nose up in deep snow and provides a more powerful, locked-in feel during high-speed turns.

Yes. The combination of the precision camber profile and the sidecut radius provides excellent edge hold on firm snow. It is designed to be a reliable carving tool when conditions get fast and icy.

Infinite Ride is a manufacturing process that pre-breaks in the board so it maintains its flex, pop, and feel from the first day you ride it to the hundredth. It ensures the board doesn't lose its snappy character after just a few seasons.

The Sketch Artist uses Burton's 'The Channel' mounting system. It is compatible with most major binding brands, but you will need to ensure you have the correct mounting hardware or discs that are compatible with The Channel system.

Because it is a high-performance sintered base, it is porous and absorbs wax deeply, which keeps it fast in various snow conditions. To maintain its speed and protect the base, you should wax it regularly, especially if you ride in warmer or abrasive snow.
