The Burton Family Tree Smooth Operator Snowboard features 3D surfboard-inspired shaping that blends edge control with surfy freedom, cutting through butter-deep powder at speed while maintaining total control. With its lightweight Super Fly® 600G Core, directional camber design, and perfect 10/10 powder rating, the Smooth Operator transforms every deep day into an epic adventure of high-speed carving and effortless float!
Rocker Type
Balanced Freeride Geometry – Burton's Balanced Freeride Geometry ends the age-old twin vs directional debate with setback camber and a sidecut that is centered on your stance to create a twin freestyle feel when riding flat base, but on edge it turns tight and quick with the float and prowess expected from a directional deck.
Flex
Personality: 5-8 (Medium - Aggressive)
Infinite Ride – Burton's exclusive Infinite Ride technology maximizes pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks in the board for you, ensuring your board will maintain its flex, pop, and feel from the first day forward, season after season.

Core
Dragonfly™ 600G Core – End-grain woods in the impact zones of the board, which lets them swap out heavier woods for lighter ones, without losing strength.
Multizone EGD™ – In four separate zones, the wood grain is perpendicular to the core adjacent to The Channel.
Squeezebox – Burton's most versatile Squeezebox profile improves pop and performance through the balance of thicker, more powerful core sections with thinner, more flexible sections. Rider energy is transferred outward from beneath the feet, energizing the tip and tail while making the board snappier, more stable and easier to manipulate.
Laminates
45˚ Carbon Highlights – Carbon Highlights optimizes each layer of the fiberglass matrix and adds a full tip-to-tail carbon layer to reduce weight and fine tune torsional feel to achieve different ride characteristics. A 60° fiber angle creates a highly maneuverable and playful feel, while a 45° fiber angle provides a more aggressive ride.
Base
Sintered WFO – Infusing a specially formulated wax deep into the pores of this extra-absorbent, high-density sintered material results in an ultra-durable base that stays wide open all season and in any condition.
Additional Features
Park: 1/10, All-Mountain: 7/10, Powder: 10/10
Super Sap® Epoxy – A bio-based epoxy resin formulated with plant-based materials that reduces the carbon footprint by approximately 50% compared to conventional petroleum-based epoxies.
Channel Inserts Included – Channel Inserts are required to mount your bindings. Inspect packaging before disposing.
Binding Compatibility
The Channel® – Compatible with all major bindings and lets you dial in the stance exactly the way you like it.
