Deep Thinker 2021
Product not eligible for returnAs its name suggest and alongside its unique tail shape, the Deep Thinker is destined for vast terrains of deep powdery snow. And it won't disappoint! With a rocker nose on a regular camber, the Deep Thinker floats effortlessly on fresh snow.
And with those specs, you'll no assume the Deep Thinker is just a freeride board. The good news is the Deep Thinker is also a very good freestyle board for snowpark riding. To give it its due, the Deep Thinker is a backcountry freestyle snowboard. There's a reason why it's pro-rider Danny Davis's favourite board. A quick glance at his videos will give you a good idea what the Deep Thinker was designed to do!
The Super Fly II™ 700G core reinforced with 45° Carbon Highlights provide maximum pop while its stiff flex (8/10) ensures the best possible grip on packed snow. The Deep Thinker, inspired by its sister the Free Thinker, has the playfulness and manoeuvrability of a bona fide freestyle board that also loves powder.
So if, like Danny Davis, you want to ride backcountry and spend time in the park, the Deep Thinker is the one!
Cambre - Directional camber: for powerful, precise turns. This high grip camber with dynamic pop distributes weight evenly over the entire length of the board for smooth, continuous edge control. This high grip camber with dynamic pop distributes weight evenly over the entire length of the board for smooth, continuous edge control.
Shape - Directional (7mm taper): classic shape with the nose slightly longer than the tail for excellent float on unpacked snow. Tapered refers to a shape in which the tip is wider than the tail, making it easier to enter and exit turns, allowing for greater stability at high speeds, and improved float.
Flex - 8/10 - Directional : stiff flex, increased pop through the tail and a slightly more supple nose for better control.
Core - FSC™ Certified Super Fly II™ 700G Core with Dualzone™ EGD™ and Squeezebox: highly resistant light wooden core. Wood from sustainably managed forests! Dualzone™ EGD™ is a type of core construction which involves positioning wood fibres on the bindings and middle of the board perpendicular to the rest of the wood core. The Squeezebox construction involves thickening and thinning sections of the board's profile around the binding inserts and between bindings to improve energy transfer.
Fiberglass - 45° Carbon Highlights : uses layers of carbon and fiber at a 45 degree angle creating a more aggressive feel in torsional flex.
Base - Sintered WFO: this base has ultra-absorbent properties when waxed. Sintered finish and enhanced durability.
Technology:
- The Channel® : Burton's own mounting system which makes it quick and easy to change stance and binding angles.
- Frostbite Edges: edges that extend out slightly around the mountings for better edge hold.
- Pro-Tip™: the nose and tail are thinner than the rest of the board to increase weight and improve handling.
- Infinite Ride™: technology that ensures that the snowboard retains the same flex, pop and energy it had the first time you used it.
- Epoxy Super Sap®: Super Sap® is a resin made from biological materials that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% compared to conventional petroleum-based epoxies. Reduced oil consumption means a smaller carbon footprint for every snowboard, which definitely works in our favour.
The Burton Deep Thinker is a great all-around board for advanced to expert riders. It fits very well in everyday snowboarding choices. The classic camber allows you to carve and enjoy a whole day on the track when the conditions are not perfect. Freestyle-inspired, the Deep Thinker is not to be outdone when it comes to jumping, whether on the edge of the piste or in the park. Its behaviour in powder is playful to give you confidence quickly. We can only recommend the Deep Thinker for riders of a good level who are looking for an excellent everyday board that is different from the Custom.
Advantages: extreme versatility, classic camber and playability.
The Minus: We really can't find any!
