How they compare

the Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top leans more powder, while the Burton Kids' Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Camber leans more freestyle.

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 Kids' Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero Camber uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise).
