Burton Counterbalance Camber vs Burton Ripcord

How they compare

the Burton Counterbalance Camber leans more freestyle, while the Burton Ripcord 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 Counterbalance Camber has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Burton Ripcord uses flat (neutral base between bindings; predictable, often paired with rocker toward tips/tail).
