In a celebration that captures both the spirit of snowboarding and the legacy of its founder, Burton has launched the exclusive 'From Burton to the World' collection.

A Legacy of Community
Donna Carpenter, Burton's Owner and Chair of the Board, emphasized the bond snowboarding creates among those who share the slopes together.
