Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero vs United Shapes Experiment

How they compare

Both boards are designed for freeride and powder riding. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Burton Family Tree Hometown Hero has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the United Shapes Experiment uses rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
