Burner XR V1 board, FCSII Reactor Tri-Fin setup
Looking for a board that has a playful feel and can optimize any condition? Then look no further than the all-new Burner XR. The Burner features a more forward, wide-point outline, giving it a ton of float and drive in the pocket and its double instep tail shape gives it bite and hold when aggressively attacking the lip. Additionally, its wider tail block makes the board loose and playful, and its five-fin box configuration makes it extremely versatile. The Burner is the perfect blade to reach for when the winds turn onshore or the peak lacks a little punch.
WHY WE MADE IT
We built the Burner XR V1 to provide riders with performance versatility in less than ideal wind and wave conditions. The Burner is at home and optimized for all conditions.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- XR Construction - the best blend of durability and weight, providing a true surfboard feel

NEW WINGED SWALLOW TAIL
This tail has a great deal of hold and traction. The upsidedown V shape in the tail gives the Burner XR control, fast movements out of turns, and more drive in-between turns to get over softer sections.
NEW VERSA 5 FIN CONFIGURATION
Provides riders with more versatility. The Burner XR can be ridden as a Thruster, Quad, or even as a Twin.
XR CONSTRUCTION
With premium features such as bamboo in the belly and carbon stringers, our XR Construction produces a more lively, lightweight, high-performance kite surfboard.
UNI-DIRECTIONAL CARBON STRINGER
Lengthwise carbon stringers on both the top and bottom provide strength and stiffness.
3K CARBON RAIL SAVERS
Carbon fiber rail patches along the tail help prevent cracking, heel dents, and damage from hard landings and deep input.
FCS II REACTOR FINS
No tool required—just click in and click out. They're quick, easy, convenient and, secure.
