About Racer X Expertise I can answer the most technical questions about any board or style of riding, freeride, extreme, tech-freestyle, carve, tech-race, etc. etc. I have a whole bunch of knowledge and experience with maintinence of snowboards as well, since I`ve worked in many pro shops, rental shops, etc.
Experience I grew up in Vermont. The first time me and my buddies saw a skateboard we thought it was a snowboard for dryland training. I've been riding since the sport essentially started, since Burton opened up a few towns over. I started when I was two and I'm 24 now... I am currently a patrolman and instuctor at a large resort, as well as a ranked professional snowboarder.

Funny, the Burton FISH sure does look a lot like those early Winterstick designs from the 70's. 1972 to be exact was when the first Roundtail was released. 5 years BEFORE Burton started producing boards to sell.

I have a Winterstick Roundtail from 1975. 2 years before Burton produced the first BB1 Londonderry. Sorry but your facts are wrong about Burton being the first excluding the Poppen Snurfer.
