In this week's tech tips
Burton Custom Board:

The Burton Custom board is really solid. It was one of the first boards that came out that you could take anywhere on the mountain - it’s the original ‘all-mountain board’. It still retains its classic shape, it’s reasonably soft and therefore accessible to beginners, but advanced riders like it too.

Its versatility comes from its all-round flex and all-round shape. It also comes in loads of sizes, so the longer ones are better for going off-piste because the extra surface area means more float in deep powder and then the really small (149-159) boards are short enough for women or freestylers to use.

Burton's warranty is also excellent and that seems to be the clincher for a lot of people.

If you have any pieces of kit that you swear by, email us with a review ([email protected])and we'll put it live.
