Burton Sketch Artist 25/26 – First Thoughts

Surf-inspired all-mountain artistry with serious carve chops.

The Burton Sketch Artist is an all-mountain board built for riders who love carving with precision. Its camber profile gives strong edge hold and power through turns, while the directional shape with a touch of taper adds smooth flow and float. Carbon in the layup gives it extra snap and responsiveness without feeling dead. It rides fast on its sintered base, sets up easily with Burton’s Channel system, and uses eco-friendly materials. On groomers, in powder, or just linking stylish turns, it’s designed to feel fluid and responsive underfoot.”

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.
