Burton 2027 Smooth Operator Family Tree - Water

Fast, responsive, and full of float for charging through the deepest days.

When it’s Japow deep, the Burton Family Tree Smooth Operator snowboard wants to cut through like butter. This is not your typical surfy powder board. Designed with legendary Japanese team rider Masanori Takeuchi, it blends 3D shaping and full-length control to blast through deep conditions at speed. A single-channel mount system gives you stance options that match the conditions and objectives of the day.

FEATURES:

Freeride Focus
Family Tree boards are designed with a freeride mindset for the best off-piste turns possible.

3D Shaping
Surfboard-inspired concave shaping in the tip and tail, combined with a traditional base through the middle, blends edge control and surfy freedom for an unexpected yet responsive ride in all conditions, from deep powder to groomers.

Directional Camber Bend
A blend of camber under both feet and a rockered nose maintains stability through variable conditions and plenty of float in soft snow.

Directional Control
Its directional shape and flex keep you carving and slashing with total control.

Lightweight Feel
Dragonfly™ 600G Core is a dual-species wood core that is loaded with pop and reduces overall weight without limiting performance.

TECH:

• Directional Shape is the classic snowboard 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

• 10mm Taper provides a versatile ride that promotes free and easy turns, making this board perfect for riding in any condition

• 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 features increased pop in the tail and a more resilient nose that allows riders to easily maintain control through all terrain and conditions

• Dragonfly 600G Core with Multizone EGD uses end-grain woods in impact zones for lighter weight that doesn’t sacrifice strength

• 45° Carbon Highlights Fiberglass build optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine-tune torsional feel

• Sintered WFO Base infuses specially formulated wax deep into the pores of the extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material making it ultra-durable for riding all season in any condition

• The single Channel® Board Mount is designed to give you practically unlimited stance options and customizability. Compatible with all major bindings.

• The latest Family Tree graphics are a fusion of art, nature, and sound. On the base, artist Bosco Sodi layers raw textures and natural elements to reflect each board’s unique ride and shape. On the topsheet, Burton’s Dom Berrini captures sound wave patterns with cymatics and Chladni plates, transforming vibrations into visuals that reveal every board’s distinct personality.
