Burton Vapor Review at Board Insiders - Real Riders, Real Reviews

From the manufacturer:
Setting a standard that the competition can’t even fathom, the Vapor™ is so refined and effortless to ride that it brings the best out of anyone who gets on it. Just ask Kevin, the Vapor’s NASA-grade performance enhancements should practically be on trial with Congress.

Board Insiders Notes:
If you can afford the Burton Vapor, it is a super light board that in previous years has proven to be a fun all mountain board and great in the pipe. Dont scratch it!




This is a seriously light board, but we didn't get on it long enough to give a proper Shred Cred rating. So it's up to you to give it your Shred Cred rating. Interested in joining our test ride team?

"Light weight is great!" by James W on January 19th, 2010
Level of Boarder: Advanced Pros: Gives confidence. Light weight makes it easy to toss around. Cons: A little sketchy on harder snow. Comments: Light weight is great, but my Custom 162 is a little more "comfortable" i all conditions. Vapor would seem like a super choice for prime powder days in the back country.
