Tom's Picks
-
Tom Burt Snowboard$1,000.00Tom 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$1,500.00Swallowtail® 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."
