Burton Counterbalance Sun Glow 2027 Snowboards

A quiver-killing balance of freestyle and float.

A true quiver killer, the Burton Counterbalance Snowboard is cozy popping side hits across the mountain, capable in deep powder stashes, and even enjoys taking park laps. It achieves this rare balance with a directional shape and snappy flex that drives and floats through turns on groomers and deep days alike. Gender-neutral sizing means just about anyone with an appetite for achieving balance is free to find it here.

Features:

Directional Camber Bend
A blend of camber under both feet and a rockered nose maintains stability through variable conditions and plenty of float in soft snow.

Directional Control
Its directional shape and flex keep you carving and slashing with total control.

Lightweight Feel
Super Fly® 700G Core is a dual-species wood core that is loaded with pop and reduces overall weight without limiting performance.

Snappy Pop
45° Carbon Highlights from tip to tail deliver snappy pop without the stiff side effects.

Directional Shape
Directional Shape is the classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while providing plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition

8mm Taper
8mm Taper makes for quicker turn engagement, providing the feel and focus of a directional board without too much taper to impact your board when riding switch

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

Directional Flex
Directional Flex features increased pop in the tail and a more resilient nose that allows riders to easily maintain control through all terrain and conditions

Super Fly II 700G Core
Super Fly II 700G Core uses stronger and lighter woods to provide pop and strength while reducing overall weight; Dualzone EGD engineered wood grain 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

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

Extras
Frostbite Edges, Infinite Ride, The Channel®, Pro-Tip, Super Sap® Epoxy

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

Behind The Graphic
Artist Steven Steinway used clay to create the Sunglow imagery, exploring form and texture all using an orange and yellow color palette not often seen in traditional snowboard graphics. Tactile and energetic, the rich, vibrant design radiates positivity and brightness to match the board's can-do quiver-of-one ride.

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.
