The Burton Counterbalance Snowboard lives up to its name by creating the perfect equilibrium between freestyle creativity and powder performance, effortlessly balancing side hit sessions, deep stash exploration, and park laps in one beautifully versatile package. This true quiver killer achieves its rare balance through directional camber that blends stability underfoot with a rockered nose for float, while its snappy flex drives through turns on groomers and floats through deep days with equal grace. With gender-neutral sizing and a directional shape that keeps you carving and slashing with total control, the Counterbalance proves that finding your perfect mountain harmony doesn't require compromise.
Directional Camber – Directional Camber Bend has camber under both feet for stability through deep-diving turns and variable conditions and a rockered nose that adds lift for increased float
Directional Flex – 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
Infinite Ride™ – This Burton-exclusive technology allows maximized pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you. Whether you choose to ride Flat Top, Flying V™, or Camber, rest assured that with Infinite Ride™ your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.
8mm Taper – Easy turning, providing the feel and focus of a directional board without anything holding you back from riding it like a twin
All Mountain Directional Shape – Designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while providing plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition
Super Fly II™ 700G Core – Stronger and lighter woods target specific areas of the core to provide pop, strength, and reduced weight.
Dualzone™ EGD™ – The 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.
45˚ Carbon Highlights – Carbon Highlights optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine tune torsional feel to achieve different ride characteristics. A 60° fiber angle creates a highly maneuverable and playful feel, while a 45° fiber angle provides a more aggressive ride.
Sintered WFO – Infusing a specially formulated wax deep into the pores of this extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material results in an ultra-durable base that stays wide open all season and in any condition.

Super Sap® Epoxy – A resin formulated with bio-based materials that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional all-petroleum-based epoxies. Less oil consumption means even less of a carbon footprint per board.
Channel Inserts Included – Channel Inserts are required to mount your bindings. Inspect packaging before disposing.
The Channel® – Stronger, faster, easier, and more adjustable -- The Channel™ gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings (not just Burton's).

Shred the patriarchy and beat micro-aggression men down the mountain in your Burton Escapade EST Snowboard Bindings. They're ready to have your back through deep, shallow, and everything in-between. Thanks to a smooth medium-firm flex and Zero-Lean Canted Highback that provides a responsive flex that's tweakable yet firm, you can stay locked in even when your mustachioed ski partners try and mansplain your favorite line. Locking your boots to the board is a Hammockstrap™ ankle strap and Suregrip Capstrap™ 2.0, designed for even hold and wide, comfortable coverage. Don't let the ski bros get you down, strap into the Burton Escapade EST Snowboard Bindings and focus on the blue skies of a pow day.
Medium Flex – The happy medium of binding flex. Medium flex models perform equally on all terrain. Great for progression - responsive, comfortable and forgiving.
30% Short-Glass / Nylon Composite Lightweight EST® – More responsive yet playful.
Single-Component EST® – By removing the materials from beneath your feet and replacing them with cushioning, Burton is able to drastically reduce weight and explore entirely new designs. With EST®, the possibilities for flex and feel are infinite, and so are the stance options.
The Hinge™ – Exclusive to EST® baseplates, this Burton-exclusive technology flexes dynamically with your leg for increased foot roll, less fatigue and easier ollies.
Women's Specific Podbed™ Cushioning System – Strategically placed EVA padding provides cushioning in common pressure points while a clear topsheet material evenly distributes a rider's weight. An evolved indicator allows for more precise stance adjustment and the glueless design is friendlier on the environment.
Zero-Lean Canted Hi-Back Design – Your legs don't go straight up, and neither should your hi-backs. This ergonomic design follows the natural contours of your left and right legs to maximize control and comfort. Riders who prefer a more playful and relaxed feel will dig the Zero Forward Lean design on select hi‑backs. As always, you can still choose to crank ‘em forward for quicker control when carving or climbing icy pipe walls.
MicroFLAD™ – The higher the Forward Lean angle on your hi-backs, the quicker you heel-edge turns. Crank them forward for icy hits in the pipe or back them off for jibbing. Tool-free and micro-adjustable for easy fine-tuning and maximum angle options.
Kickback Hammock – A lighter weight upgrade to the heel hammock, this two-piece heel hugging hiback is literally suspension in a hiback. Dynamic interaction between an internal spring and rubber over molded hammock results in increased response and reduced vibration while your heel is cradled in complete suspension.
Hammockstrap™ – Reactstrap roots in a stitch‑less construction for ultra‑response with minimal materials. The addition of a nylon cross spine equals a more direct connection with the board.
Flex Slider – Makes strapping-in a breeze with a strategically stretched hinging zone that allows the heel strap to flex and fall fully open. Thanks to science of forced molecular alignment, the Flex Slider is also incredibly strong.
Supergrip Capstrap™ 2.0 – Minimalist design merges two materials into one technologically advanced toe strap. A firmer material in the spine provides a supportive and lightweight skeleton, while a softer over-molded material improves boot wrap and comfort. Featuring Ultra-minimized and fully injected with an over-molded design. Made ultra-durable, glue-less, stitch-less and PU-free construction. 3D curved with a triple axis spine as well as a true wrap toe window.
Double Take Buckles with Insta-Click – Be the first to drop in with the rapid ratcheting of Burton's Double Take Buckles. Helical teeth and "Insta-Click" engagement combine for increased torque per crank, faster uptake, and fewer cranks to tighten. The result: vastly improved strength, speed and ease of use.
