Instigator PurePop 2026
2026 Burton Instigator PurePop Camber Snowboard Shortcut the learning curve with the catch-free feel of the men's Burton Instigator PurePop Camber Snowboard. It's no-fuss feel has just the right amount of pop and grip to accelerate the learning curve and instigate a good time from your first moment on the mountain. All-Mountain Versatility and Freestyle Fun. Its directional shape keeps you carving around the mountain, while its twin flex inspires just the right amount of freestyle fun. CAMBER PROFILE PurePop Camber - An evolution of a traditional camber shape, PurePop Camber profile features subtle flat zones just outside your feet to amplify pop and add playfulness to the snap and response of camber. Early rise tip and tail sections spin and float with a catch-free feel. FLEX 0-3/10 - Soft Twin Flex - The flex is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail for a balanced ride that's equally versatile regular or switch. SHAPE Directional | 5mm Taper - The classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain or condition. Pro-Tip - A tapered tip and tail thickness reduces swing weight for easier mobility. CORE FSC(TM) Certified Super Fly 800G - Lightened up and loaded with pop, Burton's dual-species wood core utilizes dual-density vertical laminations of alternating softwood/hardwood to reduce overall weight with no sacrifice in strength or performance. Dualzone(TM) EGD(TM) - The wood grain is positioned along the toe and heel edges on two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the wood core for consistent edge-hold and added strength. Squeezebox Low - With an overall easier feel, Squeezebox Low brings high-end core profiling technology to the progressing rider. Stiffer zones just outside you feet create a more direct energy transfer to the tip and tail, while enabling a softer, smoother flex between the bindings. The end result is more control with less effort from the rider. LAMINATES Biax(TM) Fiberglass - Features a jib-friendly, torsionally soft flex for a forgiving, park-friendly feel. BASE Extruded Base - Speed, strength, and graphical pop in a base that requires little maintenance. Pass your friends without even waxing. ADDITIONAL FEATURES Super SapA(R) Epoxy - A resin formulated with bio-based materials that reduces the carbon footprint by 50% over conventional all-petroleum-based epoxies. Less oil consumption means even less of a carbon footprint per board. BINDING COMPATIBILITY The ChannelA(R) Mounting System - Stronger, faster, easier, and more adjustable -- The Channel(TM) gives you ultimate control of your stance and your board in a design compatible with all major bindings (not just Burton's).
