The Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Camber Snowboard has earned its reputation as one of the most versatile freeride boards in Burton’s lineup. Designed to handle everything from steep groomers to deep powder days, it’s built for riders who want power, precision, and confidence across the entire mountain.
Snowboard Shape: S-rocker / Directional Camber

Designed for one-way riding, directional camber boards are ideal for all-mountain freestyle snowboarders who prioritize on-piste and powder riding. These boards offer excellent grip, easy riding, and plenty of float in powder.
Directional Power
The Hometown Hero features a directional shape with a setback stance and 12mm of taper. This design keeps turns smooth and powerful on hardpack while improving float in deeper snow. The result is a board that feels stable at speed but remains agile when you need quick control.
Camber Precision
Traditional camber underfoot provides the pop, edge hold, and responsiveness that advanced riders demand. Combined with early-rise rocker in the nose, the Hometown Hero balances precision and power with the versatility to surf powder without sacrificing control on groomers.
Premium Construction
Burton builds the Hometown Hero with top-end materials. The Super Fly II 700G core keeps it lightweight yet strong, while 45° Carbon Highlights in the fiberglass add snap and stability. A sintered WFO base ensures maximum speed and durability, whether you’re riding fresh snow or tracked-out terrain.
All-Mountain Versatility
From tree runs to open bowls, the Hometown Hero adapts to its environment. It’s stiff enough for aggressive carving and freeride charging but playful enough for natural hits and sidecountry exploration. As part of the Family Tree collection, it represents Burton’s dedication to progression and performance.

Yes, it is ideal for natural jumps on the slopes and in the backcountry and occasionally in the fun park.
The right size depends on your weight, boot size, and riding style. Check the size chart and product details for guidance, or contact us for personal advice.
You should wax your snowboard when the base looks dry or white, or after every 3–5 days on the snow for the best performance. Fresh wax keeps your board fast and protects it from damage.
