Hot Sell Burton 1989 Vintage Air Flagman Snowboard [LTD]

1989 Burton Air “Flagman” Vintage Snowboard

$1,250 (add $50 for professional full tune to make base near new again)
Add $200 for period correct bindings and hardware

As the Air Series popularity grew, Burton stepped further into the freestyle category. This board is the same geometry as the blue/black Mystery Air Prototype which is ½ inch wider, made in August 1989. This board quickly became an icon in the Burton line up. It also came out the same year and on the same page in the catalog as the black top Mystery Air. The topsheet is in good to excellent condition with the only detractors being minor binding rash from being mounted in both goofy and regular positions and a few lift line hacks to the tip and tail and a couple of scratches in the yellow box on the tail, just above the word “Air.” The base shows signs of use with multiple scratches, oxidized edges, and a brown spot on the tail near the “N”. This boards base could be brought back to near new condition with a $50 professional full tune which could be done before shipping. This base also has a second serial number on the tail from Sept. 1988. It’s the same base used in the black top Mystery Air, most likely a use of extra bases from that production run.

Collectors, please note, Salty Peaks Snowboard Shop has a mission statement to document and preserve snowboard history and does not engage in the selling of vintage snowboards from the Utah Snowboard Museum. Most of the boards on this site are privately owned and priced according to rarity and condition. 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. If you are in need of period correct bindings, parts, or hardware, also contact the museum for availability;  or 801-273-8770

Happy hunting and enjoy!
