Unisex Burton Good Company Snowboard
A board that's forgiving enough for new tricks and durable enough to handle them all.
Trying something new shouldn't feel like a gamble. The softer, more forgiving flex of the Good Company lets you experiment without punishing every uncertain landing, while the board still retains the rebound and stability you need in the park. The true twin shape and camber profile provide reliable edge hold and equally capable riding in switch, so you can perform tricks with confidence.
Street queens Maria Thompsen, Grace Warner and Ylfa Runarsdottir brought an alien graphic to the board that perfectly complements its fun park vibe.
Specifications
- Best For:
- Park: 10/10
- All Mountain: 7/10
- Powder: 3/10
- Character: soft and playful to medium-stiff (2–5/10)
- Level: intermediate
Shape and Flex
- Camber Profile – Camber is made for powerful turns and excellent pop, offering great damping with even weight distribution across the entire board for smooth and continuous edge control from nose to tail.
- Twin Shape & Flex – a perfectly symmetrical shape and flex for balanced riding that lets you spin however you like, whether riding regular or switch.
Construction
- Super Fly 800G Core – a lightweight, pop-loaded core made from two types of wood. It alternates soft and hard woods to reduce overall weight without sacrificing strength or performance.
- Dualzone EGD – specially selected wood is positioned along the tip and tail in two continuous zones, perpendicular to the rest of the core, for consistent edge hold and greater strength.
- Triax Fiberglass – triaxial lamination provides versatile flex and response for everything from mini to mega shred.
- Sintered Base – durable and highly porous, providing increased durability and excellent wax absorption for better overall glide.
Additional Features and Technologies
- Super Sap® Epoxy – a resin based on natural ingredients that is more environmentally friendly.
- Pro-Tip™ – reduced core thickness at the tip and tail for lower weight and easier manoeuvrability.
- Infinite Ride™ – technology that ensures the board retains its flex and pop over the long term.
- The Channel® Board Mount – a system compatible with most bindings on the market. The Channel provides maximum control over your stance on the board. It is fully compatible with EST technology and allows you to mount the bindings anywhere on the board – simply rotate and slide them into the desired position.

When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
Snowboard Length
The length of a snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is expected to grow taller, choose a size between the chin and nose. For freestyle, you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could cause you to over-turn in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to turn and is generally more difficult to control.
Rider's Weight
Every snowboard has a specified weight tolerance – i.e., the range between the minimum and maximum weight of the rider. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider's weight falls within this tolerance. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not be able to bend it sufficiently in turns, will not ride the entire length of the effective edge, and will not be able to take advantage of the board's properties. Riders whose weight exceeds the weight tolerance risk overloading or damaging the snowboard.
If you are not sure whether the snowboard you have chosen is suitable for your weight, ask us!
Snowboard Width
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. The idea is that when riding in a turn, the rider's toes or heels should not touch the slope. Riders with boot sizes UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide snowboards when choosing a board. With such a board, they will be able to carve turns without scraping the slope with their toes. Snowboards are also manufactured in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really large feet) versions.
Snowboard Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility)
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead. Not sure how stiff your snowboard is? Ask us!
Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Snowboard Camber Types
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of profile, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid profiles such as CamRock, Flying V etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat profile with almost zero camber provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid profile is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board. You can find out more about camber types in our dedicated article.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard Maintenance: Base and Edge Care.
