The Burton Family Tree Alekesam Snowboard pulls off the ultimate magic trick, transforming any mountain into your personal wave, thanks to legendary Selema Masekela's surf inspired wizardry that delivers that fluid, all mountain flow every rider craves. Like a master illusionist, this directional shape seamlessly blends camber stability with lightweight Super Fly® core performance, making speed and versatility appear effortless across all conditions and rider styles. With The Channel® mount system as your secret technique for dialing in the perfect stance, the Alekesam proves that the best magic happens when surf meets snow, creating an experience that's pure enchantment from first chair to last call.
Personality – 5 - 8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Directional Flex – This 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.
15mm Taper
Directional – The classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition.
Balanced Freeride Geometry – Balanced Freeride Geometry spec setback camber and a sidecut that is centered on your stance to create a twin freestyle feel when riding flat base. On edge it turns tight and quick with the float and prowess expected from a directional deck.
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.
Triax™ Fiberglass – Versatile flex and response for everything from mini to mega shred.
Carbon I-Beam™ – This ultra-light carbon backbone increases pop and longitudinal snap.
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.
Park: 4/10, Powder: 7/10, All-Mountain: 9/10
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).

Responsive enough for all mountain charging, but built around a Dual-Component baseplate with the Hinge for extra ollie power, the Burton Cartel X EST Snowboard Bindings are perfect for all kinds of high level resort shredding. The EST baseplate gives you precise board-feel and the stiff highback provides maximum control for aggressive riding, allowing freestyle rippers to freely transition in and out of the park with ease.
Medium-Stiff Flex – Helps with quick, technical maneuvers, even at high speeds. Great for all-mountain carving, powerful freeriding and charging through the terrain park.
The Hinge™ – Exclusive to EST® baseplates, this Burton-exclusive technology flexes dynamically with your leg for increased foot roll, less fatigue and easier ollies.
45% Short-Glass / Nylon Composite Lower – Carbon performance without killing your credit card.
30% Short-Glass / Nylon Composite Spar – Slightly more responsive than the 18% short‑glass/nylon composite, yet still plenty playful.
SensoryBED Cushioning System™ – Dual-density EVA automatically settles your boot into a natural position regardless of stance, width or angles for improved comfort, reduced fatigue, and more direct board control.
B3 Gel – The same cushioning found in Burton's high-end boots for ultimate dampening that's formulated to withstand repeated impacts without breaking down or hardening up in cold temps.
Heel Hammock – A reinforced rubbery material wraps response around the heel of any boot. Run your straps a little looser and still get lightening fast response out of turns with your heel cradled in complete suspension.
DialFLAD™ – The higher the Forward Lean angle on your hi-backs, the quicker your heel-edge turns. Crank ’em forward for icy hits in the pipe, or back ’em off for jibbing.
Hammockstrap™ 2.0 – Everything Burton's team riders love about the Hammockstrap, but paired with Smooth Glide™ buckles for a reduced profile and more comfortable fit.
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.
Smooth Glide™ Buckles – Lightweight aluminum and polycarbonate levers give you season after season of buttery smooth and reliable ratcheting power.
