Burton Hometown Hero X

"The Burton Hometown Hero X is the "Every Day" splitboard from Burton. It's a bit heavier than its competitors in the same price range, which translates to less agility on the descent compared to other boards. Lightly tapered, it floats well and rides solid in deep conditions. It is very stiff and has good pop, it is great for heavier riders. Once you get used to the handling characteristics it is a lot of fun and strong on piste. In choppy snow or hardpack, it remains stable. On the ascent, the Hometown Hero X is efficient due to its stiffness and the S-Rocker with decent camber, making it float well. Edge hold is good, but a little less compared to the Straight Shooter. The wide tail requires you to have a slightly wider stance while skinning.
