“This is exactly my kind of board: twin shape, medium to stiff flex, full camber, classic outline, no funny business.

For the competent, all-mountain freestyle riders out there, it’s an absolute blinder. Probably the stiffest true twin I rode all season and paired with a full camber profile, it’s not the kind of board you’ll want to get caught napping on.

“If you’re committed to riding hard, fast and aggressively it’s the kind of deck that will just supercharge your performance over the mountain”

Then again, if you’re committed to riding hard, fast and aggressively it’s the kind of deck that will just supercharge your performance over the mountain.

First thing in the morning on the groomers, it sliced into the piste with ease, and that twin shape made it a little more nimble and agile compared to a big freeride stick.

Through the slush and crud it was really stable, just hammered through it. Every bump on the piste turns into a launchpad on the free thinker. After riding a camrock snowboard most days this season, you forget just how much extra pop is in the ol’ classic profiles!

Obviously it’s super solid on the takeoff and landings in the park, too. I’m not much of a rail rider, and it’s won’t inspire confidence if you’re just getting into freestyle, but if you’re stepping into the bigger lines it’s the perfect tool for the job.

Burton describes it as a pow-friendly all-mountain board. I never rode it in any deep snow, but I’m a little sceptical that a full camber, twin board like this is going to blow you away in the backcountry. The Deep Thinker would be your go-to choice if you’re spending more time outside the ropes than in.”
