Description
Designers and engineers stayed up late sweating every detail of the Vapor™—arguing over grams, literally peeling apart countless proto decks to fight for every ounce of untapped performance. The result is a smoke-weight snowboard so technologically refined it erases the line between mind and mountain, allowing world champion Kevin Pearce to ride with more ability than ever before.

Strengths: King of the Mountain! Truley a board with looking into, even into 2013 still rides amazing lighter than smoke. Way head of its time back in 08-09 and still is. This is a must for halfpipers and freeriders!
Weaknesses: A bit stiff, but still has some nice pop. Probably the sickest board ever to come to market even through 2013.

Strengths: Of course its light and i have not had a problem yet on it. If you go at high speeds or off the trial. I recomend this board because it handles most everything so well. Cuts fast, its just feals fantastic when you ride it over all.
Weaknesses: Price most people will say but if you ride almost everyday or every week. This board is well worth all this money.

Strengths: incredibly stable and lightweight, yet has a forgiving flex. perfect for the slopes or halfpipe.

Strengths: v v light. i ride all mountain (powder,trees, groomed, pipe etc) with it and cannot complain at all. its flexibility makes the ride very pleasent but still very stable.
Weaknesses: of course the price. but if you keep an eye on end of the year sale maybe you`ll get a nice deal...

Strengths: Super Light-Duh! No this Burton snowboard is super sick. It is super stable at speed and a fun all around board. With its low swing weight it is easy to spin on .
Weaknesses: Yes the price is very high, and I am cautious about durability sometimes. But I haven`t had a problem yet.
