How much lighter is it? Riding a Canyon now(called a Baron now) Can anyone give a comparison on ride/feel/weight?

The baron is the custom wide board & is a TON heaver. Comparing the Vapor is not a comparison at all. The vapor will be extremely quicker edge to edge & have way more pop in & out of the turn. Depending on the year of ur baron the shape is totally different as well. Burton claims the Vapor is the lightest board on the market but in actuality the Palmer Honey II l is. So if ur looking for just weight check out the Palmer is & save $300. The Canyon is a very stable & very predictable ride where as the Vapor is quick to enter & exit the turn. It is a board that demands ur attention. Do not even think about taking the Vapor to the park the Alumifly core will dent to all hell. If ur looking for a light weight, super quick all mountain trail board the Vapor will work great but keep in mind there is no sitting back on this board.

One thing that is completly different from ur Canyon to the Vapor is the width of the board. The Canyon was a wide board, which is made for larger boot sizes. The Vapor is going to be narrower than ur Canyon. So if u have big feet & do not want to ride super aggressive angles.. back off the Vapor!

In addition. DO NOT take the Vapor into the Park.. Burton wo not warranty this either. It is obvious that the board is not supposed to go into the park (got to see a sample of the core. super stiff vertically.. bends so easily horizontally). It is a true carving & cruisng board.

All around a good board. is it worth the money.. who knows. l think there r a lot of good boards out there that r made just as great. they just do not have the ''Burton'' name.
