Snowboards comparison — 2023-2024 season
Compare two models
How they compare
Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Burton After School Special has a flat profile (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail), 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 noticeably stiffer at 7/10 versus the Burton After School Special's 2/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
