Burton Deep Thinker Snowboard 2024

The Burton Deep Thinker is here to expand your perspective and change the way you view the mountain. This is Danny Davis’ go-to board for when he’s not lapping the park or pipe. It’s his take on an all-mountain board that maintains freestyle performance. What you get is a poppy, medium-stiff, directional board that’s down to get airborne and loves soft snow. The Deep Thinker is one of the best choices if you're looking for something that's going to deliver if it's puking snow, but won't feel out of place if you find yourself in Vermont on a bulletproof day.  

The tapered shape throughout the board creates a surfy nose that allows for great float in soft snow and makes it so you’ll get some quick snap and response from the tail. That short, quick-feeling tail shape isn’t for everyone, but there are two major benefits that stick out when I ride a board with this shape. The first is that it adds maneuverability wherever you’re ripping because you don’t have as much board behind you. Some medium stiff boards can feel like they’re overworking you in technical terrain, but the way this board is shaped just makes it feel a little more compliant when you’re picking your way through the tight stuff. The second benefit to this tail shape is it feels like you have way more control over the way you shape a carve. For a board that’s built for gnarly terrain and soft snow, the Deep Thinker is a blast on groomers. If you’re an all-mountain rider who wants a board that’s built for pow but can certainly rip everywhere else, start thinkin’ deeply about this one.

Who’s this board for? All-mountain powder fiends who want a directional board with freestyle in its DNA. 

Who isn’t this board for? Riders who are all about the park and pipe and want something closer to a twin shape. Beginner riders looking for an easygoing and balanced feel.
