Meet the Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero
Take on the challenge and conquer everything on this all-in-one board - the Burton Hometown Hero. With plenty of time spent in the tight trees and icy lines of Vermont, we built this snowboard to smash through anything. It’s a daily companion with a construction and materials that live up to the Family Tree name.
The directional shape has enough taper to keep the nose floating on deeper days, while the directional camber and flexibility of the board maintain the pop to keep it lively in all conditions and terrains.
With a Freeride Directional Shape, this board brings you down in style for a twin freestyle feel when riding on flat ground. On edge, it turns tight and fast with the soft snow feel of a directional deck.
Strategically placed fiberglass reinforces the nose and tail for strength and responsiveness when riding through rough terrain.
Family Tree boards are designed to fuel the freeride mentality, and the Hometown Hero gives you the full power to go out in any conditions.
With directional camber, a Freeride Directional Shape, a twin flex, and a 12mm taper, the Burton Hometown Hero offers everything you need for a powerful and versatile ride. With features like Balanced Freeride Geometry, Pro-Tip™, and Sintered WFO-base, this board is suitable for intermediate to advanced snowboarders. Plus, it is made with Super Sap® Epoxy for a durable and responsible choice.

Triax™ with Carbon I-Beam™ is a high-quality construction technology that improves the performance of a snowboard by providing the right balance between flexibility and stiffness.
Directional Camber snowboards are ideal for off-piste adventures, deep powder snow, and high-speed descents, with excellent flotation in powder snow and optimal performance in various conditions, making them appealing to snowboarders who value precision and control.
A directional shape provides improved performance and stability when riding in one direction, especially in freeriding and on powder snow.
