Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top vs Burton Feelgood
Snowboards comparison — 2023-2024 season
How they compare
the Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top leans more powder, while the Burton Feelgood leans more all mountain. 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 Feelgood uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Burton Feelgood is noticeably stiffer at 7/10 versus the Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top's 4/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
