Burton Deep Thinker 163W 2021 Snowboard

Danny Davis’ pow weapon

Danny knows best. The Deep Thinker is the counterpart to Danny’s Free Thinker that puts a big smile on your face on powder days. With freeride geometry and a tapered shape you get the best out of every powder day. The artwork by Scott Lenhardt gives the Deep Thinker the final touch.

Riding Style
Deep, deeper, Deep Thinker – this board is made for the deep pow days.
 
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 7mm 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
Directional Camber features an entry rocker that causes the nose to lift while camber under both feet maintains momentum and stability through deep-driving turns and variable conditions.

Flex
The Directional Flex features increased pop in the tail and a more resilient nose that allows riders to easily maintain control through all terrain and conditions.

Construction
The FSC™ Certified Super Fly II™ 700 g Core features stronger and lighter woods targeting specific areas of the core to provide pop, strength, and reduced weight. 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. 45° Carbon Highlights optimizes each layer of the fibreglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine tune torsional feel to achieve different ride characteristics. A 45° fibre angle provides a more aggressive ride.
At the Sintered WFO Base, the wax is worked deep into the pores of this extremely absorbent, dense material. The result is an extremely durable base that stays wide open in every weather condition the whole season long. Super Sap® Epoxy is a resin formulated with bio-based materials. The Channel® gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings (not just Burton’s). The Burton-exclusive Infinite Ride technology allows Burton to maximise pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. Your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.
