Every year Burton releases "Private Stock" boards which are released only to select specialty shops. This year they did a R. Crumb Fritz the Cat graphic which is only available in 100 shops world wide. Eastern Boarder is one of those shops.

Fritz the Cat is a comic strip created by R. Crumb, the comic was the basis for a 1972 animated film which was the first animated feature film to receive an X rating in the U.S.

The Board is a V-Rocker twin, a three-stage rocker that’s equally fun from park to pow, V-Rocker™ features a center rocker between your feet, with additional rockers outside each foot that lift the tip and tail completely off the snow. Along the Channel zones, they added Pressure Distribution Edges for enhanced grip and power that balances the board’s loose and forgiving, skate-like feel. Together, the V-Rocker package energizes edge control while disengaging tip and tail contact points to create a catch-free feel that’s incredibly forgiving, floaty, poppy, and fun on all terrain. The board also features Burton's Channel mounting system. The Channel is snowboarding’s most direct connection—focusing power through a central connection spine that evenly distributes energy for added rebound and snap. It works with both Burton’s 3D® and EST™ bindings, and lets you mount bindings to board any way you see fit. Easily dial in your stance width and angles with next-level micro-adjustability. A sintered base that is ultra-durable and highly porous, a sintered base’s superior wax absorption results in greater overall glide. Extra-meaty 10:45 Sidewalls use two different angles to absorb the impacts that aggressive riders dish out. The board is finished off by taking a ride in Burton's Infinite ride machine. This exclusive pop and power-enhancing technology allows them to maximize pop and strength by overbuilding the board, then putting it in a machine that breaks the board in for you. The result is a consistent feel from the first day forward, season after season.
