Thankfully, however, there’s justification for that hefty price tag: all of the proceeds will go directly to Burton’s not-for-profit organization, Chill, “which provides opportunities for underserved youth to build self-esteem and life skills through board sports.”

The boards will officially be introduced tonight at Burton’s New York City flagship.
