Following on from the success of the Futura Vapor, Burton has released a new edition featuring Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat's collaborative artwork.

Vaportech™ is an optimized construction methodology that enhances the strength-to-weight ratio using the same magic NASA uses to explore outer space. The result is the Vapor™, a board that sets the industry standard for snow-sensitivity, rideability, and overall strength.

The super-light snowboard uses Vaportech, which is "an optimized construction methodology that enhances the strength-to-weight ratio." It also has a super-silky smooth Vaporskin base.

Burton has claimed that this snowboard will be a "legal performance enhancer" for Kevin Pearce at the 2010 Olympics.

They are not going to be too impressed if he takes a face dive in the first round.

The board is available now from selected Burton flagship stores.
