We will be posting a series of vintage Burton Snowboards to help you in this process. Whether you have a Burton Backhill, Backyard, BBI, BBII, Powdergun, Performer, a Woody or a Cruiser we will help you identify what you own.
In our never ending quest for transparent free knowledge we have created a collective resource for everyone to discover, learn, collect and enjoy!
A few of the photos in our blogs are from people like you who took photos on their own time so please cite accordingly.
Photoed above is a c. 1983-84 Burton Backyard Snowboard. It survived the last 25 years lovingly housed in a heated four car garage. The original owner was a lady who bought two boards direct from Burton. She states they were "custom made for my sons". Both boards were sold at an estate auction and acquired by Mr. Little who currently displays the now vintage snowboard in his home.
It is in fantastic unused condition and features its original rope and handle called the "power cord". It also features side fins or skags aptly named by Jake as the "Twin-fin Roundtail Tracking System". Its serial number reads AJ 378 C. The graphics are wonderfully preserved as well as the rubber foot pad. As far as we can tell AJ stands for Andy and Jake. At that time old Burton snowboards were shaped by both Andy Coghlan and Jake Burton Carpenter. For now we can only guess at the rest of the numbers but hope to hear back from Burton soon. Hey Jake remember us we met at the SIA Snow Show. More to come soon.
from Burton
The Backyard Snowboard was designed as an economically priced Snowboard for those who plan on riding less often, and mainly on smaller hills. The Backyard Model does not come with bindings or a safety leash, but does include a power cord and a twin-fin roundtail tracking system. While the Backyard Board will handle any size rider it is ideal for the very young (under ten) beginner who might feel uncomfortable in bindings while learning.

Buying vintage boards, like joes below. Please email me, pictures of your boards. Thanks
I’ve got a 1983 Burton Backhill in Nice Condition, used, but not abused (unlike so many I’ve seen sell on Ebay for $500-900+). This Backhill is Signed in Red ink under the top-coat finish " #1321 J" and then in the same red ink it says “Shaped by” and then has Bob Novak’s signature.
I also have a Burton Performer Elite150 that is also in Very NICE Condition w/ the original red Burton Bindings intact… I am looking to sell both boards; I literally just pulled them out of storage — the last time they saw daylight was about 1993.
Looking to buy vintage burton boards, please email me pictures. Thanks erikkuronen@gmail.com
I have a 1985 Performer woody with bindings in good shape. Any idea of the value?
We have a like new Burton backyard snowboard signed B265. Any offers?
I have this board, never got broke and is in awesome condition, willing to seel it, its been hidden in my basement for too long, needs to go to somneone who wants some snowbard history.
I got a 1982 Backhill Burton (the one with the grid on it) on my wall right now.. ex g/f grabbed it for me from a flea market after i found and hid it behind a bunch of shitty dusty snurfers. I knew it was gold the second i saw the Burton logo on wood.
The back strap was replaced with a cut section of bicycle tire tube and the guide rope was nowhere to be seen. Plus, its got a nice warp from crappy storage underneath snurfers; been thinking about attempting to straighten it out.. but idk about that. but other than that the decals are all perfect and the foam is intact. I dont know what to do with it lol almost took it out for a ride once but i dont wanna break it..
I have a burton cruzer 165 with the mountain graphics. board is in great shape no knicks or chips scratch on bottom is all. I would like to sell it. I’m a skier bought it in 86 or 87 been sitting in my cellar since. Bindings dried out and are junk. Board almost perfect
I have one in “like-new” condition that I want to sell. Call: 530.525.9902.
I NEED ONE OF THESE BOARDS ANY IDEAS ON WHERE I CAN BUY ONE?
We tend to know vintage snowboards best but one of the old shapers Bob Novak is still creating boards like the originals with new materials…check them out at his website – www.novaksnurfboard.com
I’m looking for a board like this…one without bindings…one that my kids can use in the backyard…no half-pike, no mounds of snow…just so they can get a feel….do you know if someone makes one like this? I don’t want to pay vintage prices.
