Riding Level
The Burton Instigator is the all-mountain board for beginners who want to make fast progress and ride all terrains.
 
Shape
Directional is the classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition. A 5mm tapered shape means the nose is wider than the tail, promoting smooth turn entry and exit, stability at speed, and enhanced deep snow flotation. Pro-Tip is a tapered tip and tail thickness, which reduces swing weight for easier mobility.

Profile
Rising rider or a seasoned pro, keep your game high and tight with Flat Top. A flat profile between the feet means stability, better balance, and continuous edge control. The tip and tail kick up with an early rise outside the feet for the catch-free, loose feeling you’d expect from a rocker.

Flex
The Twin Flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for versatility whether riding naturally or switch. 

Construction
Lightened-up and loaded with pop, the FSC™ Certified Super Fly II™ 800 g Core is a dual-species wood core that utilises dual-density vertical laminations of alternating soft and hardwood. This reduces the overall weight, without sacrificing strength or performance. Additionally, with Dualzone™ EGD™, wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the wood core, for consistent edge-hold and added strength. Squeezebox profile improves pop and performance through the balance of thicker, more powerful core sections with thinner, more flexible sections. Rider energy is transferred outward from beneath the feet, energizing the tip and tail while making the board snappier, more stable, and easier to manipulate. The Biax Fiberglass features a jib-friendly, torsionally soft flex and forgiving, park-friendly feel. Super Sap® Epoxy is a resin formulated with bio-based materials. The Extruded Base is fast and requires little maintenance.
The Channel® gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings (not just Burton’s).

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
