Full Nelson
The Full Nelson is back. Originally developed with the crew at Tribute Boardshop in Nelson, BC — with Craig Kelly's influence all over it — it's a deep-snow, tight-trees freeride board built for riders who charge.
For 26/27 Burton updated the nose profile, retuned the flex, and refined the materials. A long, tapered, rockered nose keeps you floating; a fuller-than-usual tail still lets you pop off lips and ride out switch when you need to.

Directional Camber
Rocker in the nose lifts the tip in deep snow; camber from under your feet back through the tail gives you edge hold and drive. The directional flex puts extra pop in the tail and a more resilient nose up front.
Construction
Stronger, lighter woods placed in specific zones, with wood grain running along the toe and heel edges for edge hold and durability.
Triax glass for a responsive, versatile flex; a sintered WFO base that soaks up and holds wax for speed in deep snow.
Infinite stance adjustment and compatible with all major binding brands. Channel inserts are in the box — check the packaging before you toss it.
Tapered thickness at the tip and tail cuts swing weight so the board stays quick in tight trees.
Bio-based epoxy that Burton says cuts its carbon footprint roughly in half compared to conventional epoxy.

Advanced to expert riders who spend their days hunting powder and lines in the trees. It wants speed and commitment — it'll handle the groomer back to the lift, but it isn't a park board or a confidence builder.
Backed by Burton's 3-year warranty on Channel-equipped snowboards.
