Burton Vintage 1984 Performer
The Burton performer team issue snowboard with blue p-tex and color variation, complete with all original parts and wash. This team only board that was used before the transition to the buckle and highback bindings. These bindings still utilize a water ski type binding for the competition team. This is one of the first boards to ever use p-tex. It also has a camber profile and 3 fin system. The performer was considered the most advanced snowboard of its time. Jake and the rest of the Burton team did more than anyone else of this era to push snowboard technology.
This is one of the more rare Burton boards with estimations of no more than 100 being manufactured. The condition is good and is complete with all original parts and no reproduction parts. Bindings are pliable and soft. Mounting thumbscrews have minor oxidation. There is a round discoloration over the signature area between the bindings where a sticker was removed. The base is made of blue p-tex its smooth with some scratches most notable on the tail as well as the fins having some rock damage with small nicks and abrasion.

In most cases, they are not intended to sell but to educate fellow collectors of the more rare and hard to find snowboards out there, along with potential value of such boards. Prices are set to discourage purchase, but as time catches up to value, these prices may not seem so far off in the future. If you are interested in selling a board of this caliber, please contact the curator of the Utah Snowboard Museum, Dennis Nazari.
