Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Earth 2027 Snowboards

Our time-tested quiver-of-one with Family Tree quality for your daily driver needs.

We spend a lot of time poking around Vermont's tight trees and icy lines, so we built the Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Snowboard to blast through it all. It's a daily driver with a build and materials worthy of the Family Tree name. The directional shape has enough taper to float the nose on deeper days, while the board's directional camber and flex maintain the pop to keep it lively in all conditions and terrain.

Flex: 5-8 (Medium - Aggressive)

Park: 4/10
All-Mountain: 7/10
Powder: 8/10
Features:

Twin Stance and Directional Float
The board's Freeride Directional Shape centers your stance for a twin freestyle feel when riding flat base. On edge it turns tight and quick with the soft snow float and feel of a directional deck.

Crud-Busting Power
Strategically placed glass stiffens up the nose and tail for bump-busting power and response.

Freeride Focus
Family Tree boards are designed to feed the freeride mindset, and the Hometown Hero gives you full power to get after it in all conditions.

Freeride Directional Shape
Freeride Directional Shape features a setback camber and a sidecut that is centered on your stance to create a twin freestyle stance when riding flat base, and on edge it turns tight and quick with the float and prowess of a directional deck

12mm Taper
12mm Taper provides a versatile ride that promotes free and easy turns, making this board perfect for riding in any condition

Directional Camber Profile
Directional Camber Bend has camber under both feet for stability through deep-diving turns and variable conditions and a rockered nose that adds lift for increased float

Twin Flex
Twin Flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for a balanced ride that's equally versatile regular or switch

Super Fly II 700G Core
Super Fly II 700G Core uses stronger and lighter wood to provide pop and strength while reducing overall weight; Dualzone EGD engineered wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones perpendicular to the core for more edge-hold, response, and strength

Carbon Highlights
45° Carbon Highlights Fiberglass build optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine-tune torsional feel

WFO Base
WFO Base infuses specially formulated wax deep into the pores of the extra-absorbent, high-density recycled sintered material, making it ultradurable for riding all season in any condition

Compatibility
The Channel® Board Mount is designed to help dial in the perfect stance and is compatible with all major bindings

Extras
Balanced Freeride Geometry, Infinite Ride, The Channel®, Pro-Tip

Behind The Graphic
The latest Family Tree graphics are a fusion of art, nature, and sound. On the base, artist Bosco Sodi layers raw textures and natural elements to reflect each board’s unique ride and shape. On the topsheet, Burton’s Dom Berrini captures sound wave patterns with cymatics and Chladni plates, transforming vibrations into visuals that reveal every board’s distinct personality.

So this is a tricky area. A lot of variation based on riding style, ability, gender; some boards your ride a little shorter or longer than standard. But use this chart as a good basis, and feel free to get in touch about any specific board sizing for your needs.

To decide between two sizes, choose the smaller size if your priority is maneuverability and freestyle performance, choose the larger size if you're focused on riding fast and powder performance. A shorter board will be easier to turn and a longer board will offer better float and stability riding off-piste.
