This is not a replica, reproduction, or used board from a garage rafters find — this is an unridden time capsule in phenomenal museum-grade condition.Historical Significance & DetailsManufactured in Vermont during the foundational era of Jake Burton Carpenter’s pioneering brand, this 1985 Performer represents a pivotal milestone in alpine sports development. It features the legendary split-tail swallowtail design, the angled iconic retro script font over diagonal red and black stripes, and the distinctive mountain silhouette graphic on the nose.

• The Original Hardware: Includes all original metal mounting plates and hardware factories screwed into the textured black rubber grip traction pads.
• The White Registration Number: This board prominently displays its authentic, handwritten factory registration tracking sequence stenciled in white near the tail area. In the early 1980s, Burton used these white-ink stencils as quality control identifiers and factory serial signatures before automated engraving lines were introduced. Having a legible white registry stamp on an unridden deck is the ultimate validation of authenticity for serious collections. [1]

Condition Report

• Status: Deadstock / NOS (New Old Stock) — Never ridden, never mounted with bindings, never seen snow.
• Topsheet: Incredible vibrant colors. The red is deep, the wood grain sections are bright, and the graphics show zero sun fading. Pristine condition with only micro-storage wear from decades of careful preservation.
• Base: Flawless condition. The tracking skegs are original and perfectly straight.
• Edges/Inserts: All metal plates are clean with original shine.
  (Note: As is typical for true unridden NOS stock from this year, the fragile water-ski style rubber straps are not present, leaving the factory hardware clean and exposed for perfect presentation or custom strap restoration).
