MEDIA INFORMATION
The Burton New Zealand Open is an up and coming annual event within the Burton family. With three years already under its belt, the New Zealand Open is on its way to join the ranks of Burton's showcase of premiere international events, the US Open, Nippon Open and the European Open.
This year's event, the first stop on the World Series, will be located solely at Snow Park NZ and will comprise of Half Pipe, Quarter Pipe and Slopestyle disciplines. Running from Thursday 3rd through to Saturday 5th August, the 2006 Burton New Zealand Open promises to be the pinnacle of the New Zealand winter calendar. With in excess of 5000 people per day in attendance, this is an event not to be missed.
Founded by Jake Burton in 1982, the US Open is widely recognized as the pinnacle event of each competitive season. Winning the US Open is a huge honor within the snowboarding world. From humble beginnings over 24 years ago, the event was originally created for two reasons: to bring riders together from far and wide to have a great time and to show the world which riders are truly the sport's best. It was during the event's early days when the camaraderie, spirit, and fun that have always remained the foundation of the US Open were born. Now an international championship series with events held in Europe, Japan, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, the Open Snowboarding Championships set the standard for snowboarding events around the globe.
