PTO Verdict
“The camber step up from a flat learner board, still rated Soft & Playful.”
Best for: Riders who already string turns together and want camber that stays soft, mostly on groomers and around the resort rather than in the park. Burton rates it Soft & Playful with an All Mountain slider at 90%. It also suits smaller riders: the 139 carries an 80-120 lb band and Kids/Small bindings on Burton's chart.
Not for: Park-lap riders should look at the Good Company instead, which costs the same and carries a Park slider at 100% against this board's 40%. Deep-snow riders are on the wrong board too, because Burton's Powder slider also stops at 40%. Riders after a stiff, fast deck should pass; its Soft & Playful rating, Biax glass and extruded base point the other way. And anyone already committed to EST bindings should wait until we have checked the board, because Burton's page is silent on how this board mounts.

Description
The Burton Spellbinder PurePop Camber is a soft, directional all-mountain snowboard for riders moving past their first days, priced at $449.95. Burton rates its Personality Soft & Playful, and its Terrain slider runs 0-40% for Park, 0-90% for All Mountain and 0-40% for Powder.
PurePop Camber adds subtle flat zones to Burton's camber, and Burton says they amplify pop and playfulness. The shape is directional with a set-back stance location on every length, while the flex stays twin so switch still feels familiar. A Super Fly 800G wood core carries Dualzone EGD grain along both edges, which Burton says boosts edge hold, over Biax glass that Burton describes as torsionally soft and forgiving, the layup it calls great for beginning riders or the park, and an extruded base that Burton says needs little in the way of maintenance. Burton also lists Pro-Tip, which it describes as tapered tips and tails, and Infinite Ride, its pre-break-in process.
It suits riders who already link turns and want camber without a stiff board, including smaller riders on the shortest length. It is the wrong board for park laps, for deep snow and for anyone after a fast, stiff deck.
Burton's page does not state how it mounts, so we check the board itself. This page lists five lengths from 139 to 153; Burton's chart continues to 159 and adds five W sizes. The board ships without bindings; we check your boots on the board, and if you buy the board from us, we mount a pair and set your stance.

Burton Spellbinder PurePop Camber

The take
“The camber step up from a flat learner board, still rated Soft & Playful.”
Burton pitches the Spellbinder PurePop Camber as a board to fuel a steady progression as you unlock new terrain and tricks, and an independent lineup overview lists it among Burton's new 26/27 boards, in the progression slot the Instigator PurePop left. On Burton's own sliders the whole resort comes ahead of the park and deep snow.
The Spellbinder's value is the step it adds over a flat learner board, and Burton's own copy promises a friendly ride with just the right pop and grip. It keeps Burton's softest Personality rating but moves to camber and Dualzone EGD, so, in our reading, it bites harder on an edge than a flat, beveled board while staying easy to twist and steer. For a rider who has started linking turns and wants the board to answer back, that is the useful change; a rider still skidding every turn does not need it yet.
One published number needs a caution. Burton's Tech Specs list 5 mm of taper, but the widths on Burton's size chart differ by only 3.0 mm, nose over tail, on each length. The five other Burton snowboards in our 26/27 comparison set that list a taper all match their charts, so we print both figures rather than pick one.
Two siblings do particular jobs better. The Process, $100 more, is rated Happy Medium and moves to Triax glass and a sintered base, the base type Burton credits with greater overall glide; its sliders reach All Mountain 100% and Park 70%. For soft snow, the Counterbalance's Powder slider reaches 70%, where this board stops at 40%.
The Spellbinder is listed here from the 139 through the 153. Burton rates the 139 for 80-120 lb, the 144 and 147 for 100-150 lb and the 150 and 153 for 120-180 lb, and it pairs the 139 with Kids/Small bindings. Where those bands overlap, between 120 and 150 lb, boot size and how much board you want decide; the longer board is wider with more effective edge. Sidecut radius grows from 6.6 m on the 139 to 7.3 m on the 153, so the shorter lengths turn tighter. It comes without bindings; we check how it mounts, and we fit bindings to boards bought from us.
Bindings we'd pair with it
Mount point: Burton's page lists no mounting system. The chart sets stance location at -25 throughout, with stance widths of 480mm (139), 505mm (144) and 530mm (147, 150, 153). Our pick: Burton Freestyle Re:Flex, our suggestion rather than a Burton pairing.
- Burton Freestyle Re:FlexThe lowest Personality-bar position here
Burton labels it Happy Medium, but its bar sits lowest among the options here and nearest this board's own position; Burton describes Re:Flex baseplates as universally compatible with all major mounting systems.
- Burton Cartel Re:FlexA step up the Personality bar
Also labeled Happy Medium, and Burton's current page places it higher on the same Personality bar.
- Burton Step On Re:FlexRiders in Step On boots
Burton states Step On bindings are only compatible with Step On boots.
- Burton Women's Step On Re:FlexWomen's Step On boots
The women's Step On binding; Burton's page for it says Step On bindings are only compatible with Step On boots.
We inspect the board in person, never assume EST compatibility, and mount bindings on boards bought from us. The bindings Burton pairs on its own page are Re:Flex models; the options above are our suggestion, not Burton's pairing.
Common Questions
- Is the Burton Spellbinder the same board as the Spellbinder PurePop Camber?
- Yes. Burton's 26/27 product name is Spellbinder PurePop Camber Snowboard, after its PurePop Camber bend; this page shortens the name. There is one 26/27 Spellbinder, in two graphics, Serpent and Horizon.
- What bindings fit the Burton Spellbinder?
- Burton leaves the mounting system off this board's page, so we confirm it on the board. Burton calls its Re:Flex baseplates universally compatible with major mounting systems, and its product page pairs the board with Re:Flex bindings. Step On bindings need Step On boots.
- What size Burton Spellbinder should I get?
- The 139 carries Burton's 80-120 lb band, the 144 and 147 share 100-150 lb, and 120-180 lb covers the 150 and 153. Within a shared band, choose by boot size; the longer board brings more waist and edge. We check boot overhang on the board with you.
- Is the Burton Spellbinder good for beginners?
- It suits riders beyond their first days more than true first-timers. Burton pitches it for steady progression and builds it on PurePop Camber rather than the flat, beveled base of the Cultivator, the board Burton made for riders breaking into snowboarding. An independent overview reports that Burton calls the Spellbinder an intermediate model, though the same overview also files it among beginner boards.
- How much taper does the Burton Spellbinder have?
- Burton's Tech Specs say 5 mm. Its chart puts nose and tail widths 3.0 mm apart on each length, and until Burton reconciles the two, we list both.
