Arbor Rain vs Burton Custom Flying V

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freeride terrain, while the Arbor Rain leans more freestyle. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. The Arbor Rain has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Burton Custom Flying V uses roc_cam_roc_cam_roc (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Arbor Rain is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range.
