"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve taken the Hometown Hero out on everything from deep powder to bulletproof groomers, and it doesn’t flinch. The directional camber feels stable and locked in on edge but still floats when you get into fresh snow. It’s got just enough taper to stay nimble in trees but feels balanced if you ride switch or flat base. Definitely my favorite freeride deck for variable terrain.""Who It’s For Advanced All-Mountain and Freeride Riders: The Hometown Hero is designed for riders who want to charge confidently across all conditions. It’s best for those who value stability and control at speed but still need quick response in trees, bowls, and technical terrain. What It’s For Powder, Groomers, and Variable Terrain: With directional camber underfoot and a rockered nose, the Hometown Hero is built for storm days, freeride lines, and resort carving. Its tapered shape and Balanced Freeride Geometry keep it nimble without sacrificing stability, making it dependable on icy days and dreamy in fresh snow. Why We Like It Freeride Stability with All-Mountain Versatility: Burton’s Family Tree Hometown Hero blends power, float, and control into one ride. The Super Fly II core keeps it light but strong, while 45˚ Carbon Highlights add torsional precision. A sintered WFO base keeps it fast in all conditions, and Infinite Ride ensures the flex and feel stay consistent season after season. It’s a freeride board that doubles as an everyday resort ripper."

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the Sketch Artist out on a mix of steep groomers and powdery side hits, and it absolutely rips. The camber profile is aggressive and locks in carves at high speeds, while the Squeezebox core makes it feel...
