Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top vs Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero X Camber Splitboard

How they compare

Both boards are designed for powder riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero X Camber Splitboard uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero X Camber Splitboard is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
