Burton Free Thinker vs Ride Deep Fake

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Burton Free Thinker leans more freestyle, while the Ride Deep Fake leans more powder. The Burton Free Thinker uses a twin shape while the Ride Deep Fake is directional. The Burton Free Thinker has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Ride Deep Fake uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 7/10 flex (stiff).
