Description
The 2027 Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero is the definitive “quiver-of-one” daily driver, engineered to handle the steep trees, tight lines, and unpredictable snow packs of Vermont and beyond. Built to blast through everything from deep backcountry powder fields to chopped-up resort chunder, this heavy-hitting deck relies on a hefty 12mm taper to naturally sink the tail and keep the nose floating high above deep conditions.
What truly sets the Hometown Hero apart is its use of Burton’s Balanced Freeride Geometry. By combining a setback camber profile with a sidecut that remains centered directly on your stance, the deck delivers an agile, twin freestyle feel when riding flat-based on firm resort pack, but instantly transforms into a nimble, hard-carving machine the moment you roll it onto an edge. It features a hard-driving Directional Camber bend for absolute stability at terminal velocities, paired with a perfectly symmetrical Twin Flex from tip to tail to preserve high-energy pop and a balanced feel when landing or carving switch. Reinforced with ultra-responsive 45° Carbon Highlights, this medium-to-aggressive board shaves weight and fine-tunes torsional stiffness, making it the ultimate multi-tool for intermediate-to-advanced riders demanding high-precision control across the entire mountain map.
