Driving 6 hours Each Way To Buy A Rare Early 80's Burton Snowboard

Cool piece of snowboarding history. My grandpa was an engineer at Brunswick back in the day and brought home a prototype for the Snurfer, which my mom still has stowed away somewhere.

That’s super cool! Thanks for sharing. If you see it, take pictures!

What a cool piece of history, thanks for sharing your road trip, too! I just moved to Colorado from Chicago, but the drive to northwest Michigan in the fall was always one of my favorites

[@themidwestshredder]

Michigan is beautiful for sure 🤙🏽

[@Nismitsu]

Awesome find dood!!🤙🏂

[@themidwestshredder]

Thanks bro 🙏🏽

[@adamkinowski2354]

She’s a beaut. Based on the background looks like you filmed this back in Fall

[@themidwestshredder]

Thanks man. Yeah I filmed this in the Fall.

[@jplpagan]

Not cool of that dude to lie to you about where you were headed.
Awesome find though. Glad it worked out. Next time you're in SE MI drop me a line!

[@themidwestshredder]

It threw me off when I got there, but I felt pretty safe since some of the fireman were close by. Thanks man 🤙🏽

Is a Burton brushie trout board on your list?! I love these vid's! Please keep them coming and shred safe!🤙

[@themidwestshredder]

I really like the Trout for sure. One day I’ll probably buy one 🤙🏽

[@GhostLine808]

you planning on riding this one? 🎉

[@themidwestshredder]

Hi Jared, this one will probably be a wall hanger. I have another vintage board I was planning on taking with me to Colorado on my next trip, but as I was looking at it closely, some areas were just barely starting to delaminate. Materials over time start to go bad. Kind of sucks since I was looking forward to riding that board.

I drove 8h each way to buy a Ducati

[@themidwestshredder]

Worth it 🤙🏽
