Arbor Westmark vs Burton Free Thinker

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Burton Free Thinker leans more freeride. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Arbor Westmark has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Burton Free Thinker uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Burton Free Thinker is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Arbor Westmark targets advanced riders while the Burton Free Thinker is aimed at expert riders.
