No, that would not be such a good idea. Once you try out the Burton Floater you might all of a sudden get the feeling that you are floating. Pretty cool, huh? Anyway I tried my experience with the Burton Floater when I went on my vacation to...
I think this board is a very good bored because of the great performance , the carving the way it handles and the great design of the board. This is also a good board becuase it has great light weight for max. air. This is also a very good board to...
Pros: great for powder, good overall ride, sizes from 153 to 167 available Cons: not as light as the FL, turning isn't optimal
Another entry in the growing category of wide boards. I've ridden this board as well as the K2 Fatbob and I think that the Floater gives a slighter better ride. I used this board while in Utah after there was a huge dumping of powder. I have to say that...
I got big feet and this is a good board for big feet so naturally i love this board, and yu will too if yu buy it. it lands soft but still cuts good, and it is good for all mountain riding like park pipe or anything yu want, its good for big feet and...
Pros: great flexibility Cons: graphics are kind of lame
This board was made for the taller people of the world. The Burton Floater has a wider middle for those with big feet(like me). It's a stable and comfortable board that is flexible too. You can ride this board as a beginner or more experienced no...
Pros: in the powder. for those with big feet. Cons: a little loose for extreme freeriding
i have been snowboarding for 7 years and in those 7 years i have tried many different boards. but the one board i just did not want let go is the 1999 Burton 63 floater. i have been ride the floater for 2 years now. it gives me every think i want from...
Pros: Extra width = no toe drag for big footers, Responsive, Extra width and flexibility makes landing cake Cons: Flexibility and extra width makes board choppy in the crud and bumps at high speeds
I have been riding a Floater 163 (1999 model) since last year. This is an excellent all around board for riders with big feet. The side-cut is progressive enough enabling sharp turns without difficulty. The length of the 163, coupled with its width,...
Pros: Light Weight, study and wide base Cons: Average Top Sheet design (Doesn't matter to the ride)
No Joke, this board is Big. Big for the big guys. I am 6'2" and tipping the scales at 220lbs, and this is the most stable, yet light Freeride board around (I have the 167 cm). Aside from the average top sheet design (which doesn't matter anyway)...
I have been snowboarding for 4 years and in those 4 years I have tried many different boards. But the one board I just did not want let go is the 1999 Burton floater. I have been riding the floater for 1 year now. It gives me every thing I want from a...
Pros: Great edge to edge transfers, handles very well for a fat board Cons: Graphics are horrendous, top layer chips easily
I purchased a 2002 Burton Floater for the sole reason that my previous board was too thin for my size 12 feet. I was catching my heel edge on extreme turns and when I stepped on and broke the binding on it, I used that as an excuse for a new board. I...
Who doesn't like powder? The kids love it, keeps them diaper rash free, so why can't we love it? I pray for it, dream about it, and cannot live without it.And while many shutter at the sound of the salt trucks, I cannot resist the sensations. The rush of...
I have had mine for a couple years now. The first thing I noticed about it is that it is light. I bought because I love to surf in the powder and the Floater gives me enough area to stay a float in the powder. The weight distribution is very even and...
Pros: Does what the name implies Cons: Didn't hold up to the abuse. Maybe too much abuse.
I rode a 99 floater about 50 days last year at Snowbird, UT. I'm lucky enough to have a few boards for different occasions. This was my powderboard. I had many a first-tram at the Bird' and was glad the floater was what I was riding when I did. Has...
Pros: Rides like a dream, great stability, bombs hills nicely Cons: A little heavy, fiberglass bottom
Snowboarding became a hobby after skiing for me. I was an expert skier, but wanted to try something new. Snowboarding apealed to me. Fun, dangerous, and in the snow. After using horrible rental equipment, I decided to go all out and buy some extreme...
Pros: wide, flexible Cons: price, you pay for what you get though
I myself am in the midst of trying to attain a Floater. It is an awsome board, especially for someone with big feet. I wear a size twelve to heel and toe drag is a constant problem. I've tried gas pedals and that works for the most part but i still...
Pros: all around good Cons: requires burton centered stance
This board combines the lightness of all Burton boards with widness for those of us that have big feet. The board has awesome flex! The base on this is unbleviably fast! I used to have a Sims All moutain 50 I thought this was the sickest board ever,...
Pros: Easy powder riding Cons: not too well in a half pipe.
I puchased this board last year and was amazed at how much easier it was for me to ride on days when the powder is every where. Fields where I used to bog down in I now just "float on by". And on days when the powder is scarce this board...
my boots are size 15US, this is big, too big, thats why i need new boots (14US), why did i get them? i dont know. However the floater could handle them. no draging or catching, ever and those freestyles are the largest boots you can buy. ive ridden an...
