The Burton Hero snowboard is the game-winning field goal, the walk-off homer, the original V-Rocker—in a word, the Hero is clutch! It's now more stable with no loss of snap or playfulness.

And as forgiving as the Hero is, it carves like a samurai sword thanks to super grippy edges; bottom line, the Hero will save your season!
V-Rocker: center rocker with additional rockers in front of your feet ups edge control underfoot while disengaging tip and tail contact points for a catch-free feel
For as loose and skatelike as they feel, V-Rocker boards turn on a dime thanks to the added grip of specially tuned edges underfoot that dig into hardpack
Twinlike shape offers the freestyle feel of a twin board whether riding regular or switch, with improved float and control through variable terrain and conditions
Twin flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for a balanced ride that’s equally versatile when ridden regular or switch
The Channel M6 system offers unlimited, on-the-fly stance adjustability, enhances board feel and is compatible with EST™, Re:Flex™ and Disc® bindings
The Channel lets you fine-tune your stance width to the millimeter, and then dial in your toe-to-heel centering and rotate your angles in 1 fell swoop
Lightweight wood core is snappy, strong and responsive; Dualzone™ Engineered Grain Direction (EGD) increases durability and adds superior edge hold
Carbon stringers radiate energy outward from the Channels towards the tip and tail for added snap and power, balancing the loose and playful feel of the Hero
Fiberglass in the topsheet provides versatile flex and response so you can shred everything from big mountain descents to laps in the park
Squeezbox tech transfers energy outwards from under your feet, energizing the tip and tail for added snap when exiting a turn and ollieing
Additionally, Squeezbox creates a more stable board that can be powered up and manipulated with less effort
Exaggerated tip and tail scooping turns up the edges for a looser, more forgiving feel that ads catch-free fun when riding everything from a knee-high box to neck-deep pow
Meaty 10:45 sidewalls optimize 2 different angles to absorb impact for aggressive riders
Edges extend out slightly beneath the bindings for tremendous edge hold in hard, icy conditions, but they remain playful and forgiving in softer conditions
Clean and clear, this highly-porous sintered base lowers friction between board and snow, improving your speed and overall glide performance
Burton drew the characters on the Hero with their feet! Okay, no, not really, but it kinda looks that way.

Please note: 2012 Channel M6 boards are compatible with pre-2012 EST™, Re:Flex™ and traditional disc bindings with the included M6 Transition Kit
