The Birds of a Feather snowboard carries a hybrid camber profile and true twin shape built to feel predictable underfoot while still rewarding riders who push into faster turns. The Union Juliet binding and Vans Encore OG boot match that register, with a mid-flexing baseplate and a single-dial BOA closure that keep the whole setup easy to live with while you build confidence. None of the three pieces asks more of a rider than the others, so nothing in this package outpaces where the rest of it can take you. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I dial in the BOA boot standing at the lift line, and by the time I'm strapped into the Juliet binding I'm already thinking about the next run instead of my gear. The board holds an edge better than I expected the first time I pushed it into a real turn."
