Antler Snowboard

Comments about Burton Antler Snowboard:

The Antler tackles the whole hill with confidence. This board has a noticeable, predictable, snappy spine. It is predictable, yet very aggressive and playful. I say that twice because it stands out and I'm bad with words.
I am riding these with the Malavita EST bindings, hoping to upgrade to the Genesis bindings soon.
One thing I love that I haven't mentioned above is the most noticeably different characteristic, that really sets this board apart from every other board that I've ridden -- When you want it to be damp (say your buttering, or absorbing an impact), you soften your leg, and place your center of gravity off the center of the board, and it's pretty damp. When you want to power up and get great pop, you just build up some power it delivers more consistent and powerful pop than any board I've ridden. I've been riding for 15+ years and although I'm never going to be a pro, I have the utmost respect for a board that gets me anywhere I want to go, while providing consistent and confident power. The tough part about this board is that it really sets your riding apart from others. Few boards or skis are suitable to ride hard from peak to park, and the Antler will have you easily sidehilling from the bottom of your favorite run to the top of the park.
Burton's Antler is the best board that I've ridden, hands down. Like the perfect boarder-chic; the looks and style drew me in, while the performance and logic kept me begging for more.

Past [owned] Boards I Compare the Antler to:
~06 or so Ride Business 153.8 (Ride bindings, then Flow Team (the old school Magnesium and high-mod CF))
~10/11 K2 Slayblade 156, K2 Zero 156, Burton Nug 150 (Flow team bindings, then Cartels, then Cartel ESTs)
~11/12 Burton Nug 150, Burton Custom 156, Burton Custom 158. Mission EST bindings, Cartel ESTs.
~12/13 Burton Antler 157.5, Malavita bindings

Bottom Line: EST is the best technology, for obvious reasons. If you love to gain access to new spots and comfortably, reliably advance your freestyle, the Antler is the best decision I've ever came across.

I use this board mainly in park or for playing around on side runs, all I can say is that i absolutely love this board, I get mad pop with this jibstick but yet enough control to bomb hills and control on some ice. Definitely a good investment.

I've ridden Burton boards for 25 years including many innovative designs, the Craig Kelly Mystery Air (balanced freestyle board), the Twin 58 (symmetrical), the T6 (aluminum core), and now the Antler. All I can say is wow, this board is fun! It's playful and easy to ride yet when you turn it up on the steeps it's highly responsive. This is the quintessential all mountain shred machine.
