evo.com : evo.com : Like a spouse, we don't really recommend picking your snowboard in a hurry. You should assess your needs carefully and consider whatever is on the market. But picking the Burton Family Tree Speed Date Snowboard will not be a disappointment. A high octane board that uses the best materials Burton has at its disposal, the Speed Date was originally conceived as a boardercross weapon, with tons of pop and power to navigate burly and icy luge courses. It does that with style, but in the meantime people discovered it also rips in pow as an all-mountain tool. No matter what, the Speed Date uses Burton's best Dragonfly 600G core and 45˚ Carbon Highllights construction in a no-nonsense directional shape. Not a board for lazy riders or those lacking confidence, the Speed Date comes alive when you push it hard, and you'll want to do just that.
