Meet the Burton Flight Attendant
The Burton Flight Attendant Snowboard is designed to provide a versatile alternative to more traditional twin snowboards. This board is the free spirit that precisely cuts through powder snow and hard-packed slopes. It combines the characteristics of big mountain snowboards and all-terrain boards, allowing the Flight Attendant to find the perfect balance for steep slopes, spontaneous slashes, wind lips, pillows, and side hits.
Directional Camber
A standout feature of the Flight Attendant is the Directional Camber Bend. This means that the board has a mix of camber under both feet and a rockered nose. This provides stability in varying conditions and enough float in soft snow. As a result, the board is extremely suitable for diverse terrains and conditions.
The Flight Attendant has a Freeride Directional Shape, which means you can place the Stance in the center of the board for a feel of a twin freestyle board when riding flat across the slope. When you go on the edges, you can enjoy tight turns and speed while still having the float and feel of a directional board. This offers unprecedented versatility in one snowboard.
This board is ideal for riders who love speed and versatility on the mountain. The directional design and camber provide stability at high speeds, while still making it effortless to carve turns and tackle various terrains.
Super Fly® 700G Core
The Burton Flight Attendant is not only versatile and fast, but also offers a lightweight feel. Thanks to the Super Fly® 700G Core, a core made from two types of wood, this board is packed with pop and reduces the overall weight without compromising performance.
Moreover, the Flight Attendant is compatible with the Channel® Board Mount system, which means you can customize this board to your personal preferences. It is suitable for all major bindings, allowing you to choose the perfect Stance for your snowboarding adventures. In short, the Burton Flight Attendant is the ideal companion for snowboarders looking for a board that can dominate both the mountains and the slopes with speed and versatility. This board is ready to go, so prepare for adventure!
