Burton Blossom 25/26 - First Thoughts

The Snowboard International First Thoughts are back for another season of in-depth gear reviews, giving you the lowdown on the best snowboard gear for winter 25/26. This time around, the team spent two weeks up in Åre, Sweden, putting the latest kit to the test: five riders, three videographers, and one epic resort. Our test crew loved the Burton Blossom’s true twin shape, classic camber profile, and lightweight Super Fly II 700G core, which combine for explosive pop, stable landings, and razor-sharp control on take-offs and rails. The Carbon I-Beam adds snap without weighing you down, while a medium flex keeps it lively and responsive for all types of park lines. New for 2025/26, the Blossom comes with Burton’s Dual Graphics concept — same tech, same ride, but two graphic options to make it yours. Whether you’re locking in a rail line or boosting side hits, the Blossom has the pop, balance, and style to back it up. Here's our review on the Burton Blossom Snowboard 25/26. Note: The Burton Blossom is available with Dual Graphics, a brand new concept Burton is introducing for this winter: Same board, same tech, same ride, but you get to choose between two different graphics. Apart from the Blossom, the dual graphic options are carried by other models too, like the Custom, Feelgood, and Hometown Hero. Head over to our channel for more in-depth reviews:    • First Thoughts
