Burton Vapor, $1200
Burton Vapor, $1200Here’s what the testers had to say:
“For pipe, this board is a weapon, but a little too stiff for my personal style. If I had the budget for a Vapor and other boards I’d have one for pipe, but I like a board with more versatility.
“This board is snappy and has the dope sidecut to control it. Watch out, one mistake and it will put you on the ground, but damn this thing rails up the pipe.”
“Really fun in the pipe and just right when I’m cruising. It charges up the wall and feels like you can barely twist it off it’s clean track up.”
“This is a great board in the pipe. Amazing shape, great tracking, and very light. This board isn’t overly aggressive, so I think a lot of people would have fun on it.”
“Awesome board, it charges through the pipe.”
