The Deep Thinker takes the platform of the Free Thinker and caters it to a more freeride, powder-oriented use. Utilising the same super-light, torsionally rigid core as the Free Thinker they reshape the profile with camber under the back foot blended out to an early rise rocker in the nose, promoting float in powder and mixed conditions with the camber providing power and stability in your turns and deep snow. To improve the float even more, Burton taper the thickness of the tip and tail to reduce swing weight without sacrificing flex, improving agility when you need it most.
Burton continue the directional refinement by implementing a directional flex in it's construction. The tail gets loaded with more rigidity and in-turn increase pop and power on back-foot turns, while the nose is softened slightly to increase control through challenging terrain or mixed conditions.
This is all held together using carbon-highlights in each individual layer of fibreglass in addition to a full tip-to-tail carbon layer further reducing weight of the board and increasing torsional rigidity.
Simply put; the Burton Deep Thinker is a snowboard designed to be your first and only choice in your quiver when a dump of fresh snow falls. The best part is, if the weather doesn't play ball and you end up with choppy terrain; the Deep Thinker will power through just as easily as a fun, poppy and responsive ride all day long.
