Burton After School Special

The 2026 Burton After School Special gives kids the best possible platform to begin their snowboarding career. Take the headache and tantrums out of learning to snowboard with this board and binding package designed to progress their skills quickly, easily, and with fewer falls. The After School Special includes bindings and comes with foam pads attached to the board, so you can get them used to the feeling of snowboarding without strapping them in, then when they're ready, put the bindings back on and hit the slopes.

For extra fun, pick up a Burton Riglet Reel and Hover Cover for at home snowboard activities!

Board Type: Kids Beginner

Camber Type: Burton Flat Top

Totally flat between your feet with an early rise outside for the catch-free and easy feeling you'd expect from a rocker board, but without being as loose. Continuous edge hold, stability, and balance is what you can expect from flat camber.

Flex: 1/10 (1 = soft, 10 = stiff)

Twin Flex - This board flexes the same in the nose and tail, allowing you to ride, pop, and press the same in regular and switch.

Shape: Twin

Constructed exactly the same tip to tail, this board is designed to provide consistent performance when riding in both switch and regular.

Core:

FSC Certified Fly Core - A tip to tail wood core.

Base: Extruded

Speed, strength, and graphical pop in base that requires little maintenance.

Additional Features:

Super Sap Epoxy - Super Sap is a bio-based resin that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional petroleum-based epoxies.

Easy Bevel - This board features a convex base that helps eliminate edge catches for a super forgiving platform to learn on.
