Snowboards comparison — 2026-2027 season
How they compare
the Burton Cartographer Camber leans more freestyle, while the Burton Family Tree Backseat Driver Pow Surfing leans more powder. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Burton Cartographer Camber has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Burton Family Tree Backseat Driver Pow Surfing uses flat (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail). At $399.95 vs $529.95 MSRP, the Burton Family Tree Backseat Driver Pow Surfing is the more budget-friendly option.
