Men's Burton Family Tree High Fidelity Snowboard
Tight lines, sharp turns and steep slopes?
Sounds like the perfect match for the Family Tree High Fidelity freeride board that Burton created in collaboration with team riders. The clear inspiration for designing the board was a race with an unmistakable vibe that pushes freestyle into the most epic mountain conditions - the Natural Selection Tour.
The board is therefore equipped with the most advanced design technologies for the precise control, speed and high durability needed in high mountain conditions. If you love shredding fresh powder and aren't afraid of steep slopes and the challenges of unfamiliar terrain, you just found a partner with the same interests.
Specifications
- Park: 5/10
- All Mountain: 9/10
- Powder: 7/10
- Level: expert
- Balanced geometry for freeride
- Directional Camber - camber under both feet for stability when turning and in variable conditions. Rocker in nose and tail for comfortable floating.
- Freeride Directional Shape – The shape of the board is designed with a slightly longer nose and shorter tail to concentrate pop in the back while providing plenty of buoyancy in the front. It behaves like a twin board when riding between turns, while on the edge it can turn quickly, floats in deep snow and has all the advantages of a directional board.
- Directional flex features increased tail pop and a more flexible nose that allows riders to easily maintain control in any terrain and diverse conditions.
- 7 mm Taper – taper in the tail offers a versatile ride and easy turning. Such a board is suitable for any conditions.
- Core Super Fly II 700G – the core consists of lighter and harder wood materials for the best possible combination of riding characteristics.
- Dualzone EGD – the wood is placed along the edges in two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the core, for consistent edge hold and greater strength.
- 45° Carbon Highlights – Carbon Highlights technology optimizes each layer of lamination by adding carbon for weight reduction and better control. The 45° lamination angle creates an excellently manageable and playful board.
- Sintered WFO Base - Specially developed wax is infused deep into the pores of an extremely absorbent, high-density recycled sintered material, making the skid extremely durable for all-season, all-weather riding.
- Super Sap® Epoxy – a resin based on natural ingredients that is more environmentally friendly.
- The Channel® Board Mount system is compatible with most bindings on the market. The Channel provides maximum control over board stance. It is fully compatible with EST and 3D technology and allows the binding to be mounted to the board in any position, just rotate and move the binding as needed.
- Infinite Ride – manufacturing technology that allows all Burton boards to maintain their ride characteristics for years to come.

How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead. Not sure how stiff your snowboard is? Ask us!
Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
