Burton 1989 Vintage Craig Kelly Mystery Air Custom Swallow Tail Snowboard

This 1989 Burton Mystery Air was used by Craig Kelly and was left At Salty Peaks in the early 1990’s by Craig to be cut into a swallow tail as Salty Peaks was a test tube for powder shapes at that time creating boards like the Nitro Retro swallow tail with prototypes being cut from Nitro Diablo boards.

This board was cut but never ridden after that and has been in storage ever since.  It is a wood-top board with no graphics. This board has had several repairs to the base and sidewalls and edges show rust under the p-tex. Using a standard guide the board would be considered in poor condition. But all needed repairs have been made. The base is very smooth and waxed and ready to ride. Board has standard 5 hole pattern and is absolutely still ride-able.

The biggest thing about this board is Craig was the last known person to ride it. It has some hand written names under the topsheet that look like Mis60-G60.

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!
