Burton: Vapor Snowboard - Altrec.com Product Description:

Designers & engineers stayed up late sweating every detail of the Vapor. Arguing over grams, literally peeling apart countless proto decks to challenge, test, and fight for every scrap of untapped performance. The result is a smoke-weight snowboard so technologically refined it erases the line between mind and mountain.

Material: Alumafly™ core creates the perfect union of ultra high-grade aluminum honeycomb technology and Multizone EGD™ wood-grain construction
Subtract glass, add carbon; the result is a board so lightweight it feels like riding on air
The result is a smoke-weight dream machine so technically refined it erases the line between mind and mountain
Directional shape concentrates pop in the tail and offers plenty of overall float and control; twin flex makes riding regular or switch simple
Carbon Vaporskin Lite™ uses the same magic found on space shuttles to shave additional weight off of the already lightweight Vapor while maximizing snap and strength
The Channel (ICS) system lets you fine-tune your stance width to the millimeter
Then you'll dial in your toe-to-heel centering and rotate your angles in one fell swoop
Highly durable, sharp, corrosion-resistant, stainless-steel edges ensure biting turns
Highest grade sintered material and temperature-reactive waxes combine for an incredibly smooth, ultra-fast gliding base all season long
Grip and Rip™ edge tune is perfect for slicing and dicing the entire mountain
Pro-Tips™ profiled tip and tail reduce swing weight and improve powder float
Pressure distribution edges extend out about half a millimeter underneath bindings for tremendous edge hold in hard, icy conditions
Infinite Ride® Technology: Burton overbuilds every board to retain its shape and ride characteristics throughout its life
Please note: Traditional Burton 3D® bindings are compatible with the Channel (ICS) system boards

Awesome, totally awesome!!! Do you demand the best out of a snowboard? If so, I suggest picking up a 2007 Burton Vapor. You can't get a lighter Burton board. It might be a bit costly, but the ride is priceless. With all new Vaporskin and pro tip and tail added to the already lofty list of Burton materials (such as stainless steel edges, Sintered WFO base, Carbon I-beam, Multizone EGD, Pressure Distribution edges, and a negative core profile) this board is sure to turn head on the slopes. The topsheet is sooo fresh and sleek, but it does get a bit finger printy after a few touches. Thats nothing a quick cloth rubdown wont fix. This year they even added a 163W for you large footed riders. Now every one can float on air no matter what size foot you have. I look forward to riding this board for years to come. See you out there!!!

Expensive, ONLY if you are an expert rider I have demoed this board twice before buying it on a good discount. This board is LIGHT and responds almost too well. It will take at least a full season just to get comfortable with it. One of the issues is that it still is a stiff board, when you enter any type of turn or even the half pipe, it's too fast, and when you are at that speed, control becomes critical, or you flip on your a$$. Maybe it's just me, but it scratches easily and attracts what I call "board tail gaters", ie thiefs. So ride with good buddies, and always, always carry it!
