I found the Burton Full Nelson to be a stable, powerful freeride board that felt most at home railing carves, riding fast and charging through rough snow.
It wasn’t excessively demanding for a mid-stiff, directional camber board, but it definitely preferred deliberate inputs and rewarded me more when I rode it aggressively.
In this review, I will take a look at the Full Nelson as a freeride snowboard.
As per tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com I will give the Full Nelson a score out of 100 (based on several factors) and see how it compares with other freeride snowboards.
