Interested in Burton's new entry-level pow surf board to get out and start surfing the slopes? I sure was! I just had to wait 2 months until we had enough snow to try it out! With SurfSkate season done for now, can PowSurfing fill the surf void for this landlocked surfer?

Subscribe to my channel for updates as I will be using this board lots through the winter!
Great review. Just ordered one. Thanks!
Thanks for the review. Offers good insight on the packed snow performance. Now if I can only find a place that has it in stock!
I jus got mine off the burton website $299
Awesome clip Mark! Will get a Powsurfboard eventually. Have been looking at them for quite a while.
They are a lot of fun in the right conditions. And it is like surfing in that you have to wait for the right conditions, so you get that same excitement and disappointment of following the weather forecast and hoping it holds!
Sweet review, your perspective is spot on and very informative, liked the info regarding packed snow. Was thinking of getting one since it is reasonably priced but your insight cemented my goal of surfskating the whole winter & ditch snowboarding this season. Still like snowboarding, it's hella fun but surfskating just feels more surfy. Enjoy the pow.
It is a ton of fun in the right conditions, but it is January 3rd and I haven't had a chance to use it once yet this year. We don't have enough snow for powsurfing, yet we have just enough snow to ruin surfskating outdoors!
@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer Same here, I work at a small hill in the 905 and we had 3 runs open today. I'm sort of doing the Ripcurl Search for any concrete or pavement that's dry and salt free that I can skate before going to the hill.
great video I am buying kne of this board they look like so much fun
I just got an orange one for $269 Canadian! It's beautiful!!!
Backseat driver is super cool and super fun,only few issues that i have is it is a bit complicated when you need to wax a base with hot wax and pins are kinda cool but find out eva foam works best, pins are falling off sometimes
Was in Burton Store 2021 and pins were falling off on the display model.
Thanks for review. 6" minimum powder depth for the Backseat. Minimum needed for the ThrowBack?
I think you could get out and have fun with 4” of snow with the throwback but it is still going to be a little sketchy
You can get tundra grip from gripall global. That’s what I use on my pow surfers and Pow Snowskates
Thank you! Going to check this out!
are they allowed on parks? will they still work on groomed surfaces? thank you :)
Nope, only work in deeper powder or you can't turn
Do u have to be in deep snow?
Yes, you probably need at least 5 inches or it slips out easily (that’s what sh… )
Hahahaa, damn they look sick compared to the bi level ones. But i need one that could handle a regular slope
Jus got one for $300🤘😝
Fingers crossed for some late season powder still in the cards for you!
