Although it was originally conceived as a jocular, thumbed-nose at the Burton Method (the previous high-end, lightweight Burton model), Mervin were surprised when the original pre-order for the eye-wateringly expensive, ‘hand-poured by Mike Olsen’ Lib Tech CYGNUS’ pre-orders sold out almost instantly. Bemused, they upped the price again, only to have it sell even faster.
The latest model now promises ‘self healing sidewalls’ and ‘organic, volcanic basalt and a Magnesium Oxide Strand’ in place of fibreglass, making it easily the most expensive production board going.
