Furthermore, your feet are positioned in relation to the sidecut in a way that’s designed to make this feel more like a twin board when you’re approaching a jump. The Burton Flight Attendant Split is therefore perfect for those who already know their stuff off booters, and want to take it to the distant backcountry.

“A carbon beam within the lightweight core enhances what the strong camber bend already brings to the table”

As for mounting, the Burton Flight Attendant Split features a very simple system based around Burton’s signature ‘Channel’ technology. Each half of the board boasts its own channel upon which you can quickly and easily mount your bindings. It comes complete with pucks that work brilliantly with Burton’s own Hitchhiker model – but just as it is with the regular Channel system, you don’t need to have Burton binders to make it work.

Riders more focused on powering down route one at high speed may prefer the Burton Dump Truck Split, but those seeking spines and cliff drops will definitely prefer this beauty.

The Flight Attendant is the best backcountry freestyle board I ever rode, and to have it as a split is like a dream come true.

You can get up to anywhere that most people don’t go, and then hit every cliff and wind-lip on the way down without a problem.
