Burton Social147 (2011) $529.95
Like a portable playground, the award-winning Social™ stacks tricks on everything in sight. Giving up-and-coming rippers the ultimate upper hand, the Social’s soft, forgiving feel gets multiplied by combining the catch-free feels of V-Rocker ™ and Cruise Control ™. Effortless to ride thanks to its triple rocker design and upturned edges, the board is virtually impossible to catch an edge on, easy to press and control, and loaded with pop.

Burton Citizen One-up White 2011 $199.95
While the competition offers their “convenience” entry systems at nearly twice the price, the NEW Citizen One-Up answers the call with its quick and easy one-strap design. A fully adjustable, oversized strap offers the women’s-specific fit, security, and support you’d expect while a forgiving flex and overall light weight keep you charging from dawn ‘til dusk.
 
Burton Hero 152 (2011) $629.95
Burton Hero 152 (2011) $629.95
A favorite for team riders Marko Grilc and Mark Sollors—the OG of V-Rocker s is now even poppier thanks to NEW Jumper Cables Hi-Voltage . The Scoop tips only add to the buttery float and catch-free performance. For as forgiving as the Hero™ feels, it carves like a samurai sword thanks to the added grip of Frostbite Edges . Bottom line—this board will save your season.
 
Burton Custom Orange (2011) $279.95

Setting the standard for total comfort and control, the Custom™ is a straight-laced assailant equipped with every shred essential.

Add an all-around buttery flex, supple Primo strap package, and cushioning throughout and you get one binding that always delivers.
