Burton didn't just make snowboards — it built the sport. From a barn in Vermont in 1977 to the biggest name in snowboarding, Burton has shaped how the world rides for nearly five decades. We carry the deepest Burton range in Melbourne: snowboards, boots, bindings, the Step On system, AK outerwear and bags, all in stock at our Richmond showroom. Authorised dealer, with free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $90.
Jake Burton Carpenter founded Burton Snowboards in 1977, working out of a barn in Londonderry, Vermont, building boards by hand and convincing ski resorts to even allow this new sport on their slopes. More than any other person, Jake is the reason snowboarding exists as it does today. He spent decades fighting to get boards on mountains, riders into competition, and snowboarding into the Olympics. Burton has been at the centre of the sport ever since, sponsoring the riders and shaping the technology that defines modern snowboarding.
That heritage matters because it shows up in the product. Burton builds the most complete ecosystem in snowboarding — boards, boots, bindings and outerwear all engineered to work together — and backs it with R&D no other brand can match.
Who Burton is for
Burton makes gear for every rider, which is exactly why it is the brand most people start with and many never leave. Beginners get forgiving, confidence-building boards and the easiest setup experience in the sport. Intermediates get a broad range of all-mountain and freestyle options. Advanced riders get the Family Tree line and AK outerwear built for serious backcountry and big-mountain riding. Whatever you ride and wherever you are at, there is a Burton built for it, and we will help you find the right one rather than just the most expensive.
What Burton technology actually does
The Channel — Burton's mounting system gives the widest stance adjustment in snowboarding and works with most major bindings via the included hardware. Fast to set up, easy to dial in.
Step On — Burton's step-in boot and binding system. Click in and ride, no straps. See our dedicated Step On range.
Family Tree — Burton's premium line of directional, terrain-specific shapes for powder and big-mountain riding.
AK Outerwear — Burton's top-tier outerwear line, built with GORE-TEX for backcountry and serious conditions. Shop Burton AK.

How Burton compares to the other brands we carry
If you are cross-shopping, Jones is the pick for backcountry and powder, K2 is playful and forgiving with a strong BOA boot range, Ride builds durable boards for wet and variable snow, Salomon is lightweight with strong freestyle options, YES runs unconventional shapes for riders who push boundaries, and ThirtyTwo is the stiffer, street-influenced boot alternative.
Yes. Burton makes some of the best beginner and progression boards in the sport, with forgiving flex and the easiest setup experience going. It is one of the safest first-board brands, and the range scales all the way up to expert.
The Channel is Burton's mounting system, a single rail on the board that gives the widest range of stance width and angle adjustment in snowboarding. It works with most major bindings using Burton's included hardware.
Step On is Burton's step-in boot and binding system. You click into the binding and ride, with no straps to do up. It is fast, secure and a favourite for riders who hate strapping in. Come in and try it on properly before you buy.
Sizing depends on weight, height and riding style. Use our snowboard size guide, or come into Richmond and we will dial it in with you.
Family Tree is Burton's premium line of directional, terrain-specific shapes built for powder and big-mountain riding. It is aimed at advanced riders rather than first boards.
AK is Burton's top-tier outerwear line, built with GORE-TEX for backcountry and serious conditions. It sits well above the standard Burton outerwear range in both build and price.
Yes. We are an authorised Australian Burton dealer, so you get full manufacturer warranty and no grey-market risk. We carry the deepest Burton range in Melbourne including Step On and AK, with free boot heat moulding, free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $90, and same or next-day dispatch from Richmond.

Burton step on bindings
These were great to use. Forget about ratchets and spend more time going down hill rather than down on your bum tightening your bindings.
