What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Burton Custom
Burton’s long-running all-mountain camber board. Used Customs are common, so price the base and edges, not the season sticker. Do not treat Custom Flying V as the same used buy — softer flex and a different camber feel.
