Based loosely on the classic Fish, Burton have kitted out the latest model in the Family Tree powder series – The Piledriver – with ‘Filet-O-Flex’ pads around the channel binding system, allowing the rider to choose whether or not to take bindings up with them in the morning. You could even stash them in your pack!

With clever modern features like a hybrid rocker, a sidecut that extends all the way to the tail and the widest point being placed directly under the front foot for extra stability and control, this backcountry beast is our pick of the bunch.

£480 is a lot of money for a snurfer you can only use on those super deep days, but it’s a steal for one that can transform into a competitor to the YES 420 for when the conditions are anything less than prime – what a board!
