Burton Men's Bullet Snowboard
Created with the same characteristics (and price) that made the Clash a success among new riders, the Burton Bullet is a wider version designed for new and experienced riders with size 10 boots and larger. It's an appealing freeride design built with durable components that give you a better deal than the value-line snowboards that barely keep it together for a season or two. The Bullet features Burton's Fly core, a balance of lighter woods in specific areas for better response and denser woods where support is essential. Bi-directional layers in the Biax React fiberglass give the board a little more flex than boards with Triax fiberglass, giving you a little more forgiveness when you need it. The Lightspeed Vision Base offers an incredibly smooth extruded base that can glide even without wax. The "Vision" in the name means that you'll never have to worry about others looking at dull graphics when you pop off a jump or a berm. Keep in mind that the Bullet has a negative core profile, not an even core profile that sometimes offers more stability to beginners. The negative core profile could lengthen the learning curve a tad for some riders, but the advantage is that new riders learn how to control the board through independent foot control sooner than riders who later transition (with added expense) to a negative core snowboard. Because most Burton boards feature a negative core profile, transitioning from a Burton to a more advanced design doesn't require much adaptation. The larger 164-cm. Bullet supports bigger boys who weigh up to 210 lbs without dragging their feet through toe-side turns.

Great Graphics and size. I'm a taller boarder and the size for it is just right.
