Tom's Picks

  • Tom Burt Snowboard

    "A board built for my style of riding. A longer sidecut, and progressive flex pattern, this board will perform better the faster you go."

  • Swallowtail® Snowboard

    "Easiest and best powder board you will ever ride. Lean forward and the boards drives like a Cadillac, shift your weight back a bit to engage the swallowtail and it turns like a Porsche."
