Burton 1996 Dolphin Snowboard

The Burton 1996 Dolphin Snowboard was Burton's first pro model developed exclusively for women and fits perfectly into the Burton Icons line.

Its unique design includes a softer flex and lighter weight for superior freestyle performance. The positive camber provides powerful pop, responsiveness and stability on freestyle terrain, perfect for progressing skills and learning to push yourself all over the mountain. With advanced innovation and numerous prototypes tested, this board is perfect for the female athlete looking to take their riding to the next level. 

Skill Level: Intermediate / Expert

Board Type: All Mountain

Park: 8/10, All Mountain: 10/10, Powder: 6/10

Camber Type: Positive

The original, tried and true camber type, and the advocate of powerful turns and poppy precision. Traditional camber is the most aggressive camber type, offering unmatched power, response, and edge control.

Flex: 6.5/10 (1 = soft, 10 = stiff)

Twin Flex - This board flexes the same in the nose and tail, allowing you to ride, pop, and press the same in regular and switch.

Shape: Twin

Constructed exactly the same tip to tail, this board is designed to provide consistent performance when riding in both switch and regular.

Core:

Super Fly II 700G - This core features stronger and lighter woods targeted in specific areas, which provides more pop and strength while reducing weight.

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

Womens Specific Triax Glass - This triaxial fibreglass creates a versatile flex and consistent response for performance across all types of snowboarding.

Base: Sintered WFO

Standing for Wide F!#@ing Open, this base made from an extra absorbent, high density sintered material that is infused with a specially formulated wax, resulting in an ultra durable base that rides Wide F!#@ing Open.

Mounting System: The Channel

The Burton Channel system forgoes your traditional 4-screw mounting system and introduces a channel for your front and rear inserts. This allows you to fine-tune your stance width, and gives you more freedom in your stance location. The Channel is compatible with most major binding brands, but works best with Burton EST bindings.

Additional Features:

Infinite Ride - Burton is able to maximise pop and performance by overbuilding their boards in the factory, and then using machinery to break it down for you. This allows your board to ride the same from day one, to day 100, season after season.

Pro Tip - The tip and tail of this board taper out at the points, reducing swing weight and promoting mobility.

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