Compare two models
How they compare
the Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top leans more powder, while the Burton Name Dropper leans more freestyle. The Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top uses a directional shape while the Burton Name Dropper is twin. 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 Name Dropper uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Burton 1987 Elite Flat Top is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
