Pros: Does what the name implies
Cons: Didn't hold up to the abuse. Maybe too much abuse.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a powder board, get a big floater.

| altasnwbrdteam's Full Review: Burton Floater |
I rode a 99 floater about 50 days last year at Snowbird, UT. I'm lucky enough to have a few boards for different occasions. This was my powderboard. I had many a first-tram at the Bird' and was glad the floater was what I was riding when I did. Has excellent stability, float, and handling due to so much surface area. I like to ride chutes, deep powder, cliffs, drops, and strait-lines through rocks and trees. I eventually cracked the top-sheet back on the tail. It looks like the tail just couldn't take it anymore and proceeded to just fold up. I think this may have been due to the large heelside turns at the end of so many strait-lines. There was a core-shot under towards the rear of the board that I felt was unrelated to the topsheet. The Burton rep's felt otherwise. Overall, a great board. A little heavy, but at 167 nothing's light.
