2025 Burton Instigator

All Mountain Snowboard. All-Mountain Versatility and Confidence-Boosting Stability

You can get straight to the good stuff with the Burton Instigator Snowboard. It's an all-around board with a catch-free, stable ride that boosts your confidence anywhere you take it. The combination of a Flat Top bend and Cruise Control convex base keeps it fluid, friendly, and easy to control. The universal compatibility of the Channel® mounting system means it works most major bindings, including Burton's.

Board Type: Beginner

Camber Type: Flat Top

Flat Top puts flat camber between your feet and rocker in the tip and tail. The flat provides more stability, pop, balance, and edge hold, while the rocker gives you stronger presses and that catch-free feeling that rocker is known for.

Flex: 1-3/10 (Soft)

Twin Flex - This board is constructed the same at both ends to give a smooth ride while riding regular or switch.

Shape: Directional

This shape features a slightly longer nose than tail, which concentrates pop in the tail while providing extra float and control in any terrain.

Core:

FSC Certified Super fly 800G - Light and loaded with Pop, this core uses dual-species wood in dual density vertical laminations to reduce weight and stay strong.

Dualzone EGD - The wood grain of the core is positioned along the heel and toe edge on two unbroken zones, perpendicular to the rest of the core. This gives consistent edge hold and strength.

Squeezebox Low - A thicker and more powerful core section with thinner and more flexible sections in the tip and tail. This enhances energy transfer and makes the board snappier and more stable. The Low version of Squeezebox has an overall easier feel, with stiffer zones just outside your feet and a softer, smoother flex inside the bindings for more control and less effort.

Biax Glass - This biaxial fibreglass features a jib-friendly, torsionally soft flex that provides a softer, more forgiving, park-focused feel.

Base: Extruded

Speed, strength, and graphical pop in base that requires little maintenance.

Additional Features:

Pro Tip - A thinner tip and tail means reduced weight and swing when in the air, helping you to send it!

Super Sap Epoxy - Super Sap is a bio-based resin that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional petroleum-based epoxies.
