Burton Flight Attendant Snowboard 2023

PREPARE FOR DEPARTURE

REVIEWED BY: Dylan Lavoie

Want to float, lay trenches, and still take flight? Sounds impossible, but the Burton Flight Attendant delivers on this preposterous idea. Backseat camber packaged with Balanced Freeride Geometry makes this all mountain charger feel like a true twin. The Flight Attendant has become the most popular snowboard within the Burton family by pleasing a wide variety of abilities and styles of riding. The rockered nose gets this board on edge effortlessly, once on edge it grabs and does not let go until you decide. The board has power, but it's definitely not super stiff. That makes the Flight Attendant great for riders upgrading from their beginner setup, people who love cruising, and occasionally pushing the speed. It's predictable, when you lean over you know what's going to happen, responds accordingly without feeling like it's taking you for a ride. Super stable and comfortable when you decide to get into more aggressive terrain or increase speed. The board does feel balanced despite being directional, so if you still hit the park the Flight Attendant doesn't mind going airborne or riding switch. An impressive design and super fun is why the Burton Flight Attendant continues to be one of the best. If you are looking to shred at max speed with tons of power the Burton Custom X has a similar design with additional reinforcement in the core. A true powerhouse that experienced riders will love. Want something a little more playful check out the Burton Hometown Hero, again similar shape just slightly more forgiving.
