The history of Burton Snowboards

When Jake Burton Carpenter was a kid, he got into snowboarding by way of the Snurfer. He started with the Snurfer as a toy and soon realized that it could be more. He then began making his own boards and selling them to friends and family.

The company was founded by Mark and Cathy in 1977. Since then, it has grown to be one the most well-known snowboarding brands. The company offers a variety of boards and accessories to suit all budgets and riding styles.

Burton Snowboards Made in Burlington

There are 81 factories that produce their products around the world. Some are in the United States and others in Europe and Asia.

The factory is situated in Londonberry Vermont. It is the place where they manufacture their snowboards.

They make a majority of their boards from wood and laminated fiberglass. These cores can be made by mixing up to 500 pieces of various wood species. Then, they are sliced into thin sheets.

These sheets are then combined with layers Triax fiberglass to create an extremely durable and reliable board.

The Blossom, a high-performance and versatile snowboard, is the perfect choice for those who want to have fun on all snow surfaces. The model has a medium stiff torsional flexibility that encourages responsive movement. It also has Burton's Super Fly II 700G Core, which is made of light and strong wood. This allows the board to respond quickly and gives you confidence when charging downhill or landing jumps.

It is also constructed with a Frostbite Edge that extends slightly out from the sidewall of the board for added bite when you need it and a smooth and buttery ride when you don't.
