Designed to drop where others won't, this big-gun inspired shape is all about speed and control in big terrain.
Big lines. Steep terrain. Hard charging. Check. The Family Tree Straight Chuter Snowboard channels the full-throttle style of Burton rider Danny Davis for those in search of a no-bullshit, big mountain board. It's wide nose and taper keep it maneuverable in powder, while its directional shape and flex share Davis' ride-hard attitude.
ABOUT THE GRAPHIC: This year we let the unique shapes and rides take main stage by using simple geometry, finishes, and natural textures to allow the shape and contours of the board come to life. The clean aesthetic is meant to telegraph the board’s character and personality. The Family Tree is about building the future with all of the lessons from over 40 years of experimentation and adoration for the glide, ride, and slide. We take all that knowledge and put it to the test with new configurations of proven methods that deliver specific ride benefits. The hope is always to move what is possible within our sport and culture towards the future.
